Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Barber is a Financial Software Consultant based in Greater Boston with nine years of hands-on experience building embedded and financial systems since graduating in Computer Systems Engineering from UMass Amherst in 2013. He has a strong embedded background from multiple roles at Lutron Electronics—rising from Project Embedded Engineer to Senior Project Embedded Engineer—where he authored cross-product feature specs, diagnosed field issues onsite, and resolved legacy software defects. Since 2018 he has applied that systems-level rigor to financial software at Galatea Associates, blending low-level engineering discipline with domain-focused consulting. Michael also spent a year traveling across Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Europe, an experience that sharpened his adaptability and client-facing problem solving. He frequently bridges hardware-software gaps and is comfortable moving between specification, implementation, and field support to deliver reliable, production-ready solutions.
