Summary
Michael Schmerbeck is a full-stack engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building web applications primarily with the MERN stack (TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Node, Express, MongoDB). He has shipped production projects across consulting and product roles at Prismetic Group, The Smithy, and The Virtual Forge, and built practical consumer-facing apps like CryptoKeeper and Stream It that integrate real-time alerts and multi-source data aggregation. A Thinkful Fullstack alumnus with additional computer science studies at UMass Boston, he combines formal training with applied problem-solving and a focus on user-facing performance and reliability. Based in rural Pennsylvania, he brings the discipline of long-term consulting engagements to fast-moving feature development and observability. Notably, his projects demonstrate an eye for automating noisy workflows—such as SMS/email alerts for volatile markets—and for surfacing distributed data from hundreds of sources into simple UX.
