Hi, I’m Mike 👋

Principal/Senior Software Engineer. I build and operate production platforms: Go (Golang) on Azure/Kubernetes, secure gRPC service meshes (Linkerd2, mTLS, OIDC via Okta/AD), and SLO-driven observability (Prometheus/Grafana). I also write performance-critical components in C, C#, Rust, and Ada 2022 with clean FFI seams.

  • 🚀 Shipped: multi-tenant geoinformatics SaaS on Azure/K8s; 77% CI speedup with Bazel + GitHub Actions
  • 🛰️ Data/imagery: delivered concurrent geospatial/photogrammetry processing, optimizing throughput vs. storage for mobile clients
  • 🔐 Reliability/Security: end-to-end mTLS, OIDC (Okta/AD); SLI/SLOs with actionable alerting and runbooks
  • 🧭 Leadership: Software Engineering Manager for three teams (~20 engineers); mentorship on modern practices and distributed architectures
  • 🧪 Regulated envs: HIPAA (contracting, pre-SaaS), SOC 2 (university)
  • 🧰 Platform: Terraform, Helm, Redis (caching), Azure Queues (eventing), API gateways (Ambassador/Emissary, NGINX), light Azure Functions; familiar with AWS/GCP equivalents
  • 🧩 Systems: C / C# / Rust / Ada 2022; FFI boundaries; predictable latency work
  • 🤖 AI-assisted engineering: ChatGPT & Claude Code for scaffolding, refactors, tests, PRs, and runbooks (with safe-use practices)

Open Source

  • Active contributor to the Ada Library Repository
  • I publish and maintain multiple libraries/tools here on GitHub — feel free to open issues or PRs

Interests

IoT / IIoT (device-to-cloud), geospatial/photogrammetry, defense/space, scientific/medical data, distributed systems, observability, and developer experience (Bazel).
