About

Hi, I’m Miguel! I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Lyft in New York, and I’ve spent the last nine years or so working in Infrastructure, building the systems that other engineers rely on to ship code and keep it running.

From 2018 to 2024 I was on the Deploys team, where I helped design Lyft’s Continuous Deployment system. Today more than 95% of Lyft’s services use it to ship to production automatically. I helped build Facets and FacetController, an abstraction and controller that let us roll out infrastructure changes across the whole fleet safely. In 2024 I moved to the Compute team, where I work on our Kubernetes platform. I lead our automated resource rightsizing work so that services get the CPU and memory they actually need. I was also one of the shared execution leads across the Infrastructure teams for Lyft’s launch in Europe.

Outside of work you’ll usually find me watching, talking about, or traveling for soccer. There’s more about that in the Soccer section.

I started running at the end of 2024, and in 2026 I ran the New York City Marathon.

I studied Computer Science Engineering at the University of Michigan (B.S.E., 2017). Go Blue!

Soccer

Soccer is the thing I care about most outside of work. Lately that has meant following the big tournaments wherever they’re played:

  • FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia
  • FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar
  • Copa América 2024 in the United States
  • FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the United States
  • FIFA World Cup 2026 in the United States, Canada and Mexico

Every trip has left me memories I will never forget and emotions that were unique to each. I’m working on writing some of these stories down, so check back here for more.
