Welcome to my website—it's still a work in progress, so new things will keep being added. I'm Michael or Mike, whichever you prefer. I love spending time outdoors doing things like backpacking, skiing, and fishing. Having lived in Colorado for 10 years, I was able to enjoy all of those quite a lot.
I like learning new coding languages by developing something chess-related. If you can't tell by my projects page (upper right corner), I really like chess. Plus it's very fun to build a chess app from scratch—there's always something to improve. Whether it's adding the Stockfish chess engine or implementing a way to import FEN strings to the board, you'll always have something to work on.
I recently started a new job working in support for OpenVMS (one of the oldest operating systems!) so I haven't had a lot of time to focus on side projects. But I've been doing some learning in my free time with new web frameworks. It's an exciting time to be working in tech!
If you like anything you see here and want to team up for some coding projects, you can get in touch with me through my resume in the top right corner.
