// software architect & consultant
Hi, I'm Michael.
I build software that ships.
From cloud platforms to the tools teams lean on every day — I design it, build it, and see it through to production.
01
About
I'm a software architect with over 15 years across the full software development life cycle — development, integration, testing, analysis, design, training, and consulting. I've worked as both a technical lead and an individual contributor, and I'm happiest when the two overlap: setting direction, then writing the code that proves it out.
My focus is agile transformation and end-to-end software delivery — and having fun while doing it. Away from the keyboard I'm a husband and dad to three vibrant redheads, a woodworker, a DIY enthusiast, and a homesteader (one rabbit, three cats, and twelve chickens at last count). If I'm not building something, I'm probably camping or on a trail.
