It’s not easy to get 5 stars from me but Michael has been great! He shows up on time, and finishes within schedule. We’re doing accounting and financial systems which means that you have to learn the business side of things. It’s not only software, you have to understand the workflow. Our experience with Michael has been amazing.

Employment History
FullStack Labs Apr 2017 - Present
Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead
FullStack Labs is a preeminent nearshore / onshore software consultancy that helps leading companies design, develop, and maintain custom software solutions.
- Currently leading a development team on the California Federal Draw and Reporting project, a system to monitor federal and state dollars flowing to healthcare providers slated to be released in Fall 2020. I work as a Scrum master and code reviewer, create microservice architecture with multiple API services in NodeJS, and build out data lake services using tools like Kafka, Debezium, S3, PostgreSQL, and Spark.
- Built two complex B2B e-commerce applications for Siemens—Spares Advisor, which sells new parts to power industry customers; and Exchangium, which sells both new and used parts and allows customers to sell their own parts as well. Both applications required building JSON APIs in Django (Exchangium) and Flask (Spares Advisor) and integrating them into Ember applications using Ember Data.
- Rebuilt The Coding Network's mission-critical accounting system using the Salesforce API and Accounting Seed. The legacy system was migrated from Python 2.7/Django 1.7 to Python 3.6/Django 1.11.
- Consulted as a Python expert to help Sharp Healthcare's programming team transition a legacy healthcare system written in DIGITAL Command Language to Python.
- Created a self-serve graphic design tool for Ladies of Real Estate that allowed their clients to custom design their own marketing materials. The app was developed using ReactJS, Babel, Node.js and AWS S3.
