Hi I'm

{mike}

Software Developer, Engineer, niche skill collector.

I am a trained software developer with several years of professional experience building full stack web based applications. These applications ranged from operational support software to detailed energy data analytics which included both structured SQL and unstructured data. While software development accounts for the bulk of my professional career, it is far from the only set of skills in my repertoire. Working primarily with startup companies has provided me with multifaceted skillsets, from frontend UI/UX development to bare metal electrical/mechanical engineering work. While earning my Master's degree at University of Massachusetts Lowell, I developed a passion for 3D printing and its adjacent technologies and wrote one of the first cloud-based slicing engines, consisting of software that turns computer models into 3D printer compatible code. At Zea Biosciences I built a platform which took both user and sensor data to do live plant condition analysis. This enabled technicians to make custom tailored solutions specific to each plant. Outside of work, I am an avid cyclist and can regularly be found out on a group ride or on Zwift.

My Résumé

Some of the places I've worked.

Lead Software Developer

Zea Biosciences | Sep 2018 - Present

Created an intelligent plant growth and facilities management system. The system is a 3-tier SPA design using Django and ReactJS technologies.

Integrated existing systems data into an InfluxDB time series database for live plant condition analysis.

Handled all linux systems administration and software deployment.

Full Stack Software Developer

Efacto Power | Jan 2017 - Aug 2018

Designed a cloud-based big data time series for storing and analyzing patterns in energy. This design leveraged the power of Hadoop and the OpenTSDB framework.

Managing product development and production of the IoT gateways and sensors. This involved all aspects of the manufacturing processes from product development to production.

Software Developer

Outsmart Power Systems | Aug 2015 - Dec 2016

Created a content management system for maintaining business related customer data on the web. This included responsive web design elements for both mobile and desktop using AngularJS.

Built a websocket-based IoT communication platform using Java.

Designed responsive D3 charts for in depth analysis of data collected from IoT sensors.

Side projects

Web Based 3D Slicer

University of Massachusetts Lowell | 2015 - 2016

Wrote one of the first 3D print slicers to be deployed to the web. This project was also tested on a 3D printer of my own design.

Full details and many rantings/thoughts can be found on my thesis blog, here.

Solidworks Design

Massachusetts Bay Community College | 2015 - Present

Studied Mechanical Engineering part time and I have a background designing parts and assemblies in Solidworks. Several of my designs were used in production applications at Efacto Power.

So what do you do for fun?

I race bikes and sometimes make videos about it.
