I’m Mike, a senior individual contributor with 15+ years of experience planning, building, and maintaining software across AI tooling, web platforms, and real‑time systems. I’m currently working as a Senior Engineer at SOTI at there Mississauga HQ focused on AI integration and internal tools.
I like working in the space where product meets systems—building things that are fast, reliable, and pleasant to use. I’ve led performance initiatives, built full‑stack platforms, shipped real‑time telemetry systems, and worked on simulation and game tech.
Current focus
- AI agents, RAG systems, and internal tooling
- Practical, maintainable architecture for fast‑moving teams
- Performance, observability, and operational reliability
Skills & tools
Languages & frameworks: C#, ASP.NET, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Unity.
Platforms: Azure, AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda), and for personal projects Digital Ocean.
Practices: Systems design, performance engineering, CI/CD, Scrum/Agile, observability (Datadog).
Hobbies
I build (and occasionally crash) FPV drones and long‑range autonomous vehicles, and I’m always tinkering with hardware projects.
Project highlight
PCB development from idea to reality (Sep–Oct 2023)
Built a custom PCB from schematic to assembled hardware using KiCad and modern manufacturing services (e.g., JLCPCB/PCBWay). It’s impressive how fast the end‑to‑end flow can be today compared to the old days of etching copper boards by hand in an old fish tank of acid.
