Michael Dallman, computedocean, Cloud and Systems Engineer Typing intro

🎤 Attending Microsoft Ignite 2026 (Nov 17–20, digital) — my sessions & notes: https://github.com/computedocean/ignite-2026-notes Rackspace Location GitHub Universe Twitch


Terminal boot sequence summarizing Michael's career and stack

👋 Hi, I'm Michael

I'm an infrastructure engineer at heart. I spent 16+ years at Rackspace, working my way up to Windows Admin IV and keeping enterprise Windows environments running in production: Active Directory, identity, networking, migrations, and the 2 a.m. calls nobody else wanted. Once I migrated five firewalls in a single weekend. I survived.

After Rackspace I ran the whole stack solo at Cavender Auto Group (2024–2026) — Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Active Directory, Exchange Online, Azure VMs, VNets, NSGs, and Backup, an Azure-hosted domain controller, PowerShell automation, SentinelOne and Arctic Wolf, Sophos firewalls, and UniFi.

That career taught me how real systems behave. They break in ways nobody planned for. Good engineers inspect before they touch anything. And "done" means verified, not just deployed.

These days I'm taking that mindset into cloud automation and AI agent engineering. I'm less interested in AI that writes text and more interested in AI that can understand, plan, act, verify, and learn inside real systems, with the guardrails an ops person would insist on.

Build intelligent systems that can reason, plan, execute, verify, and continuously improve.

🔄 How I Work

Inspect, plan, implement, verify, review, iterate

I don't believe in one-shot fixes. Reliable software and infrastructure come from continuous inspection, implementation, verification, and review. That's how I ran production, and it's how I build now.

🚀 Current Focus

CLOUD  +  INFRASTRUCTURE  +  AUTOMATION  +  AI AGENTS  =  INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS

My main side project is 🤖 CAOS, the Computedocean Agent Operating System. It's where my infrastructure background meets AI: agent orchestration, persistent memory, tool execution, policy enforcement, human approvals, and audit logging. The goal isn't another chatbot. It's an operating system for intelligent agents.
