About

Here's a little background

Hi, I’m Michael — I design and build for the web.

It all started back in 2008, tweaking game mechanics on ROBLOX. What began as a creative experiment turned into a deep passion for building digital experiences.

Since then, I’ve engineered software for a startup, the U.S. Navy, and a global tech giant. These days, I focus on crafting accessible, inclusive, and user-first web products — most recently at Disney.

Here's a few technologies I've been working with recently:

React Hooks
Javascript
NodeJS

Next.js
Typescript
AWS

Experience
