With over 25 years of hands-on experience as a developer and systems architect, Michael has spent his career mastering the art of building software that solves complex, real-world problems.
His deep technical background is rooted in the evolution of modern enterprise computing. Michael specializes in designing data-driven web applications and object-oriented libraries, with an extensive track record across the entire Microsoft ecosystem - from early Visual Basic, COM+, and modern .NET Frameworks, to complex ASP.NET and MVC applications. He bridges the gap between legacy reliability and modern cloud-era architecture.
Most recently, Michael has brought his expertise to mission-critical public infrastructure, serving as the lead developer and subcontractor for major initiatives within the Philadelphia Water Department.
