Mike Frieze is a web developer with a decade of hands-on experience building both back-end and front-end systems, currently focused on modern JavaScript stacks like React, Next.js, Astro, and TypeScript. His career began with self-taught PHP/HTML/CSS in high school and was rekindled by formal Python coursework, leading to a Java developer role at Oakland University where he improved build performance and fixed production authentication bugs. As a freelance developer since 2017, he has delivered full-stack MERN projects, Java/JavaScript integrations, and a React-powered real estate site, demonstrating versatility across enterprise and startup contexts. He emphasizes intuitive user interfaces and performance optimizations, pairing practical engineering with clear documentation and developer onboarding. Based in Clinton Township, Michigan, Mike blends a strong backend foundation with modern front-end craft and a habit of finding small but impactful efficiencies in build and deployment processes.
