Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Lyon is a founder and software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building reliable full-stack products, from healthcare platforms to cloud hosting services. He led major migrations and quality initiatives—most notably a full TypeScript migration that cut production bugs by 28% and a Node upgrade that helped Kinsta reach SOC 2 compliance—while also designing a referral program that increased new referrals by 30%. Earlier work in healthcare delivered measurable impact, including an 800% surge in device sales after a frontend rebuild and a 90% reduction in onboarding failures via a serverless rework. Comfortable across TypeScript, React, Node, Next.js, Go, SQLite and automated testing, he combines product-minded engineering with leadership in developer tooling and component libraries. A self-taught tinkerer who started by shipping popular ROBLOX games as a teen, he brings a creative, user-focused perspective to building developer-friendly systems. Based in El Paso, he balances shipping production-grade software with side projects as a founder and freelance engineer.
