Top SchoolMichael Brown is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building civic-focused web and mobile applications that bridge government, healthcare, and community services.

Michael has deep full‑stack experience (.NET Core, Spring Boot, React, Vue, Django) and a track record automating large ETL pipelines, accessibility compliance, and CI/CD across multi-repo Azure deployments. As founder of Code for Buffalo and a former Code for America fellow, he pairs technical delivery with community engagement to increase access to public services (e.g., a water affordability site that boosted enrollment 350%). He’s comfortable navigating legacy systems and design systems alike, from REMIS UI modernizations to enterprise design systems for BESPIN. Based in Buffalo, he focuses on open government, urbanist solutions, and pragmatic engineering that advances the common good.
