Mike Hardy is a seasoned software engineer and operator with over 10 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining cross-platform mobile apps and developer tooling, and two decades running a small contracting and consulting firm.

Mike is comfortable across the stack: native Android/iOS build systems, Gradle/JDK/SKD compatibility, and React Native/Flutter integrations, and he frequently improves build stability and example apps to help other developers ship. He pairs a detail-oriented engineering mindset with financial rigor from roles managing accounting, payroll and tax compliance, and has led M&A-era transitions to modernize finance and IT.
