Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Plazek is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building front-end and full-stack applications, currently contributing to Uber from Fort Collins, Colorado. He progressed through multiple front-end roles and technical leadership at Hewlett Packard Enterprise before joining Uber, demonstrating a steady track record of shipping production-grade user interfaces and leading small teams. Formally trained in computer engineering (University of Pittsburgh) with strong academic performance, he pairs engineering rigor with practical product sense. Known on GitHub simply as an "uber dev," he brings a blend of hands-on coding and system-level thinking that surfaces in both UI craftsmanship and backend integration. A less obvious strength is his early experience running a family web development business, which sharpened his end-to-end ownership and client-facing communication.
