Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Lipinski is a founder and seasoned .NET/C# software engineer with two decades of experience building and modernizing mission-critical systems, from legacy refactors at Ancestry to launching new commercial products on .NET Core and AWS. He blends hands-on engineering—designing databases, APIs, unit tests, and deployment pipelines—with leadership in coding best practices, design patterns, and mentoring junior engineers. Michael has repeatedly rescued and modernized long-lived applications (including migrating a 15-year-old tool to .NET Core and keeping services stable during zero-downtime decommissions), and has delivered measurable cost savings through infrastructure and process improvements. Equally comfortable building prototypes (Unity mobile games) as he is running customer tests and product planning, he’s evolving toward software architecture while retaining deep implementation chops. Based in California, he pairs academic training (MS/BS in Computer Science) with a pragmatic engineering philosophy influenced by C# in Depth, Clean Code, and The Pragmatic Programmer.
