ATLANTA, GA
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.

About

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
