Michael Bykovski is a pragmatic software developer and consultant based in Wiesbaden with 12 years of experience building web applications and backend systems. He combines hands-on engineering roles across agencies and product teams with academic teaching experience as a Dozent für Web Engineering, bringing both practical delivery and pedagogy to projects. A strong advocate for agile practices, he focuses on reliable, testable code—evidenced by contributions to the Django-based Wooey project where he improved argument handling and added tests to make scripts robust without manual input.
