What I'm looking for

I'm targeting Team Lead, Technical Project Manager, and Engineering Manager roles where I can use technical depth to drive team and product outcomes.

At MikeByte, I build AI-powered automation, including rental reporting tools, RAG-based character systems, and computer-vision video-processing workflows. I also developed a business administration application for financial tracking, reporting, and operations.

Previously, I led backend engineering at Outfts and built TypeScript/Node.js commerce services at Amaze using event-driven architecture and NoSQL databases. I’ve led teams, mentored engineers, architected Java/Spring microservices, managed AWS and Docker deployments, and coordinated cross-team delivery.
