Summary
Michael Brewer is a seasoned software engineer with 11 years of experience building full-stack systems across web, cloud, and embedded domains. He has strong hands-on expertise with React, Node.js, golang, C#/.NET, TypeScript, and databases such as Postgres, QuestDB, and MongoDB, and has shipped mission-critical ground systems used to test and launch rockets. Michael excels at turning ambiguous problems into practical solutions, often discovering the right questions only after diving into the code and data. He’s worked across startups and scale-ups—leading UI efforts, standardizing engineering practices, and serving as a founding SWE on a Rust + WASM stack—so he bridges rapid iteration with production reliability. Colleagues describe him as a creative, collaboration-first problem solver who is comfortable on consoles during live operations as well as refactoring legacy codebases. Based in Los Angeles, he brings a rare mix of operational launchroom experience and broad full-stack fluency.
