Summary
Mike Wright is a Principal Consultant and polyglot engineer with 10+ years of professional experience and decades more in systems and middleware, now focused on building AI coding agent tools for Rust and WebAssembly in stealth mode. He blends hands-on development in Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, and embedded systems with deep ops experience—shipping prototypes, porting legacy code, and optimizing build and CI pipelines. Mike has led engineering teams and managed large-scale platform and UI efforts (React/D3) while maintaining a tinkerer’s habit of writing Emacs Lisp and organizing community meetups. His background spans enterprise software at Sun and IBM to startups and independent consulting, giving him both architectural rigor and practical delivery skills. Notably, he prefers individual contributor roles where he can dive into low-level systems, functional programming, and performance-sensitive WASM tooling.
