Hi, I'm Michael

I design and build cloud services that scale cleanly, behave predictably under high traffic, and are easy for other engineers to maintain and extend. I care deeply about observability and about building systems that are future-proof rather than fragile.

In my work, I collaborate closely with product, backend, and frontend teams, helping translate vague requirements into clear technical solutions, and negotiating feasibility so we build the right thing, not just the requested thing.

I enjoy shipping features, improving existing functionality, and seeing ideas turn into real, usable products. Along the way, I mentor junior engineers, bring structure to complex projects, and help teams move with more clarity and confidence.

I’m especially drawn to creative and music-related technologies, where strong engineering can enable better tools, workflows, and experiences for creators.
