Hello, I'm Michael. I'm a seasoned full-stack software engineer with 17 years of experience designing scalable web applications and complex backend systems. I am proficient in Python, PHP, Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frameworks like Vue.js and React (Next/Nuxt, etc).
About me
I'm a seasoned full-stack software engineer with 17 years of experience designing scalable web applications and complex systems. Currently serving as Senior Full-Stack Developer at Euro-Wall, LLC, where I design and develop large-scale internal web applications using PHP, Vue.js, and MySQL. I head up multiple types of web integrations for manufacturing interface systems, working with custom REST APIs, and engineering dynamic quoting applications with real-time features. I assist with managing deployments, multi-team commits and collaboration, and advise on infrastructure security and speed as needed.
My expertise spans JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Python, C#, and modern frameworks like React, Next.js, and Nuxt.js, with proven experience in MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB database design, REST API development, and AWS cloud infrastructure with Docker/Kubernetes.
I've contributed to diverse projects from SaaS marketing automation platforms to video streaming applications, managed WordPress security audits across hundreds of sites, and delivered production-ready SPAs for clients. I'm passionate about open-source contributions, AI/ML integration, and exploring GraphQL tooling to drive innovation.
