Summary
Michael Sodaro is a versatile software engineer and manager with a decade of experience building full-stack web systems and exploring blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. Based in Chiyoda, Japan, he combines hands-on development skills—from Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL to Rust compiled to WebAssembly—with product-minded leadership gained through roles at Code Chrysalis and long-term management positions. His hands-on tinkering extends beyond code: he designs and pilots FPV racing drones, composes on electric guitar, and has prototyped a fighting game, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving. Comfortable with cloud and Linux operations, he has deployed Bitcoin nodes and leveraged AWS and Ubuntu in self-driven projects. Known as a practical generalist, he’s the kind of engineer who can take a feature from architecture to deployment while iterating on hardware and creative side projects.
