Michael has driven ISO/IEC 27001 architectural practices, designed an adaptive placement-test algorithm used by millions, and co-built end-to-end QA and observability improvements for complex services. His background spans web, mobile, game development, and ML/AI interests, informed by early work creating an open-source iOS OpenGL ES game engine and leading cancer data portal front-end efforts. Known for mentoring cross-functional teams and decomposing monoliths into domain-aligned microservices, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for experimental algorithm platforms. Based in Old Toronto, he blends academic roots in computer science with a creative edge from a minor in dramatic arts.
