Michal Szymulanski is a senior full-stack software engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance web systems, currently based in Las Vegas. He specializes in backend optimization—microservices, GraphQL, REST APIs, and relational databases—and has a track record of slashing page load times from 15+ seconds to under 2 by query tuning, indexing, and caching. At Influential he led architecture improvements, extracted a GraphQL microservice, and eliminated persistent login bugs by porting an auth layer to Node.js, while also shipping customer-facing features. As a former technical co-founder, he has product-facing experience coordinating roadmaps, remote teams, and third-party integrations like Auth0 and Stripe. Michal combines hands-on engineering with pragmatic architecture choices and an affinity for improving developer experience and maintainability.
