Hi, I'm Michael —|
I design & build clean, thoughtful software. When I'm not developing, you'll probably find me on a tennis court, at a concert, or planning my next outdoor escape.
Who I am
A quick snapshot
I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2024 with a degree in Computer Science, and now work as a software engineer in Atlanta. I’m passionate about building software that’s reliable, intuitive, and works exactly as it should.
- Clean architecture, DX, and performance-minded code
- Practical problem-solver and collaborative teammate
- Based in Atlanta, always open to new people and new experiences

Concerts, guitars, and discovering new artists on repeat.
Movies
Keeping a running list of films to watch (my letterboxd is suffering)

Hikes, green spaces, and good coffee outside.
Travel
Collecting moments, not magnets. Always down for a new city or country.
Capturing
Snapping little vignettes of life & friends.
What I'm up to
