Summary

Mike McGarr, a late bloomer in his career, discovered his passion for Continuous Integration after working on waterfall-style IT development. He devoured books and information on DevOps, streamlining production cycles with tools like Jenkins and Hudson. His self-proclaimed neurosis about having repeatable and reliable processes led him to Netflix, where he now serves as Engineering Manager for the Build Tools team, guiding a culture that values continuous delivery and excellence in individuals. The Netflix team holds each member to high standards, both culturally and technically, and those who don't meet them are let go with generous severance packages, making it an attractive place for talented engineers like Mike.
