Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Murray is a Staff Engineer in Los Angeles with 13 years building web and mobile applications, currently shaping commerce experiences at Intuit Mailchimp. He brings full-stack fluency from front-end React/Next.js storefront work to back-end Node.js and GraphQL API design, having contributed key resolvers and product-management mutations for the open-source Reaction Commerce platform. His background spans startup-to-enterprise product engineering, from Reaction Commerce through Mailchimp, plus UX-focused engineering earlier in his career, giving him a practical eye for both developer and user-facing concerns. Comfortable with cloud-native deployment patterns (Docker/Kubernetes) and test-driven front-end refactors, he pairs system-level thinking with hands-on implementation. An understated strength is his ability to bridge product and engineering teams, turning commerce domain complexity into maintainable APIs and predictable UIs.
