Summary
Mike Miller is a seasoned software engineer and owner with 14+ years focused on designing pragmatic, data-first backend systems that are robust, efficient, and no more complex than necessary. He has deep expertise in Clojure (14 years) and a long history building scalable, production-grade distributed systems — from graph databases and OLTP services at Intuit and LinkedIn to payment and OCR pipelines in cloud-native AWS environments. As a founder and principal engineer he pairs hands-on implementation (including Common Lisp and low-level assembly earlier in his career) with product-minded engineering, shipping features like an SSL certificate watchdog and high-throughput payment processors. Based in Sarasota, FL, he blends startup grit and enterprise-scale experience, and outside work he’s a disc-golf-playing hacker who tinkers with Lisp, Scheme, and Forth.
