Boulder, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorMike B is a seasoned software leader and entrepreneur with 17 years of experience building large-scale web and mobile applications, now co-founder and Lead Developer at Initial Capacity in Boulder. He grew and led VMware Tanzu Application Services' Americas consulting practice—building the Mountain/Central region from scratch and scaling Pivotal Labs Boulder to sustained 50% year-over-year growth. A hands-on polyglot developer, Mike brings deep expertise in Java/Kotlin, Ruby, and location-based services, and has delivered solutions for clients including Best Buy, NHS, Volkswagen, SendGrid, and Twitter. Earlier work as a system architect at Gnip contributed to the codebase that preceded its acquisition by Twitter, and he started his career writing software for geologists—an origin that still informs his pragmatic, data-aware approach. He also teaches at the University of Colorado Boulder, blending practitioner experience with mentoring the next generation of engineers.
