Engineering judgment built around preserving what matters.
Michael is a senior software engineer and software architect whose public work centers on modernizing business-critical systems without losing the behavior that users and organizations depend on. His approach starts by understanding existing rules, data, workflows, and failure modes before replacing technology.
His technical focus includes ASP.NET Core, C#, Web API, Razor Pages, SQL Server, T-SQL, stored procedures, TypeScript, Angular, RxJS, API contracts, automated tests, and maintainable service boundaries. He also uses AI-assisted engineering as a reviewed support process: prompts, semantic search, structured documentation, handoff memory, and explicit human checkpoints help organize work without replacing accountable review.
Michael values evidence that another person can inspect. Comparison screens, parity checks, regression tests, source maps, durable documentation, version history, and clear claim boundaries are recurring parts of his public engineering method. He also works on search, answer-engine, and generative-engine discoverability so public technical claims remain attributable and reviewable.
Outside software architecture, his public creative work includes photography and visual composition. That work reflects an interest in observation, framing, light, public spaces, natural scenes, and clear visual communication.
