Michael Dykman is a senior software engineer with 14 years of professional experience designing and delivering high‑scale, cloud-native systems across fintech, retail, and media. He blends hands‑on mastery of multiple languages and architectures with strategic leadership—implementing Agile practices, mentoring cross‑tier teams, and managing vendor and cloud migrations at companies including AWS, Equifax and The Home Depot Canada. His strengths span the full lifecycle from architecture and load testing to post‑implementation support, with deep experience in high‑load backends, BI/big data pipelines, and custom DSLs. Michael has repeatedly led legacy-to-cloud transformations and built resilient data capture and streaming systems (Kafka, Storm, Cassandra) that underpin high‑availability products. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs a rare combination of systems-level competence and people leadership, and brings an interdisciplinary mindset shaped by an academic background in linguistics and anthropology.
