Hi! I am Michael

Full-Stack Software Engineer

I’m a software engineer who enjoys turning complicated problems into simple, reliable products that people can actually use.

Over the past eight years, I’ve worked on large scale enterprise software, building and improving systems that support real customers and complex business workflows. My experience spans frontend development, backend services, APIs, performance optimization, debugging production issues, and designing solutions that need to remain reliable as they grow.

I currently work at Workday, where I’ve spent much of my career building financial software and solving problems across the full stack. I’ve had the opportunity to take ownership of features from early design discussions through implementation, testing, release, and production support.

What I enjoy most about software engineering is the problem solving. I like understanding why something works the way it does, finding the simplest solution that will hold up over time, and working with people across engineering and product to build something we are proud to ship.

Outside of writing code, I’m always learning more about system design, distributed systems, product engineering, and how to become a better technical leader.

I’m especially interested in building modern full stack products and scalable systems, and over the long term, I hope to grow into a software architect who can help shape both the technology and the direction behind the products we build.
