Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Mitchell is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building full-stack web applications across Python (Flask/Django), MEAN stack, and Ruby on Rails, now focused on backend systems at AutoFi. He has progressed from hands-on engineering to leadership roles—including Lead Backend Engineer and briefly Director of Backend Engineering—bringing production-grade API and architecture experience. Comfortable across databases, server-side frameworks, and increasingly React/Redux front-ends, he pairs Test Driven Development habits with a pragmatic, product-focused mindset. Michael is driven to learn quickly and adapt, evidenced by top-of-class certifications in multiple full‑stack tracks from Coding Dojo and a steady expansion of his toolset (C++ exposure included). Outside work he channels the same competitive energy into athletics and music, often balancing code sprints with hockey, softball, cycling, and drumming.
