Jason Michels is a Lead Software Engineer and architect with 14 years of experience building web platforms, microservices, and Docker-based deployments from Minneapolis. He blends hands-on full‑stack development—PHP, Go, Node.js, JavaScript, MySQL/NoSQL—with team leadership, project estimation, and architecture work to deliver scalable LAMP- and microservice-driven systems. His background includes leading and scaling engineering teams at BI WORLDWIDE and spearheading architecture shifts at Fisdap/Ascend to Docker, Go, and Couchbase-based services. Equally comfortable shipping iOS apps in Swift and mentoring engineers, he pairs deep implementation skills with operational pragmatism. Outside work he channels his technical curiosity into building iPhone/iPad apps and rides motorcycles, reflecting a practical, detail-oriented approach both on and off the clock.
