About Michael
Crafting Digital Excellence Through Code & Innovation
I'm an Engineering Leader with over a decade of experience building enterprise-scale platforms that serve millions of users. My passion lies in architecting resilient, high-performing systems that blend cutting-edge technology with exceptional user experiences.
My Journey
I specialize in leading scalable engineering initiatives that transform complex business requirements into robust, user-centric solutions. My expertise spans the full technology stack, from frontend frameworks like Angular and React to backend services, DevOps practices, and Site Reliability Engineering.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with industry leaders like Philips, AkzoNobel, and SVB, where I've consistently delivered results that matter: tripling conversion rates, reducing build times by 60%, and migrating critical systems while preserving business continuity.
When I'm not crafting code, you'll find me exploring the underwater world as a certified scuba and freediving instructor, or traveling to new destinations that inspire creativity and broaden perspectives. The discipline and focus required for freediving mirrors the precision needed in software engineering.
