Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Corkum is a Senior Web Developer with over two decades of web experience and more than 11 years in senior roles, currently leading large-scale digital initiatives at Carleton University. He architects and delivers scalable, secure hosting and CI/CD solutions while building accessible, component-driven front ends with React, TypeScript, Tailwind and a background across PHP frameworks and CMSs like Symfony, Laravel, WordPress and Drupal. His work includes designing and integrating robust APIs (including Ellucian Banner integrations), managing complex data migrations, and championing WCAG-compliant design through a reusable RDS component library. Equally comfortable in DevOps with Docker and Azure DevOps as he is in UX/UI, Michael pairs technical depth with a client-focused, collaborative approach that prioritizes performance and inclusivity. An early solo-practitioner turned enterprise lead, he brings a rare blend of hands-on craftsmanship and strategic architecture to university-scale web ecosystems.
