Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Schwartz is a semi-retired software artist and Internet entrepreneur with five decades of industry experience and a deep focus on Web and JavaScript technologies for the past 20 years. As Managing Partner of SportsTwo and a former Modus Create solutions architect, he has led product and platform work spanning microservices, Docker, AWS, and full-stack JavaScript (React/Next.js/Node.js) while co-authoring the book Docker for Developers. He builds and runs his own IoT home platform—mixing containerized microservices and PWAs—which reflects his hands-on curiosity about hardware, embedded systems, and even writing an operating system from scratch in x86 assembly and C++. A prolific writer and open-source contributor, he’s published dozens of articles, maintained projects like SilkJS, and contributed example code and Docker-based demos tied to his Packt book. Now based in Palm Desert, CA, he’s open to selective engagements rather than full-time roles, bringing rare entrepreneurial breadth combined with day-to-day engineering craftsmanship.
