Michael Knapp is a seasoned software engineer and engineering manager with 13+ years delivering full-stack web and media solutions, now working as a freelance web developer in New York. He has deep experience in C#, .NET, SQL Server and ASP.NET alongside modern frontend stacks like React and TypeScript, and has led teams building both monolith and microservice architectures in AWS. At Zocdoc he managed provider-facing teams that balanced legacy systems and new feature development, and earlier roles at BBN involved turning advanced research (e.g., speech-to-text) into deployed customer solutions. Comfortable across CI/CD, media SDKs (DirectShow, Windows Media Services) and video/audio formats, he brings a rare combination of systems-level media expertise and product-focused web engineering. Known for mentoring engineering teams and shipping pragmatic solutions under ambiguity, he now applies that leadership and hands-on craft to freelance projects.
