Michael Franklin is a senior software engineer based in Vancouver with seven years’ experience building scalable cloud-native systems across Google Cloud and Azure. He blends deep Python expertise—delivering data pipelines and automation for large-scale genomics processing—with hands-on experience in C#, TypeScript/Node.js, React and iOS, and has driven infrastructure-as-code solutions and CI/CD that supported the largest cloud genomics run in Australia. Michael has led and grown engineering teams, run hiring and interview processes, and steered security and platform strategy while mentoring engineers through organizational transitions. His open-source work includes infrastructure repositories for population genomics and a metadata platform designed to scale to hundreds of thousands of samples, reflecting a focus on reproducible, auditable research software that directly enabled new clinical diagnoses.
