My Projects

Bookmark Organizer

An app to make bookmarks more useful. Users can upload a bookmarks export file or add bookmarks individually. The app allows sorting, searching, and tagging the bookmarks, and also provides a live preview option and archive search for dead bookmarks. With an account multiple lists of bookmarks can be stored. This was a team project. I handled most of the server-side work and some functionality for the client.

An app for learning some Turkish vocabulary. Mostly an excercise in test-driven development. I handled most of the back end on this duo project.

Fresh Tracks

Hi, I'm Michael. I solve problems.

I'm a fixer, information-gatherer, and a tenacious problem solver, also known as a "smoother over of bumps". Objective and forthright in a creative environment. I enjoy finding pain points in existing systems and fixing them up. I'm a full stack developer but I lean towards back-end work. I love working on a team with people who are better than me at visual design. I'm always willing to chip in if someone is running into a blocker. If I'm not in the office you can find me on the slopes (in winter) or wishing it was winter (the rest of the year).
