Hi, I'm Michael. I've been building software for over two decades, shipping more than 100 projects along the way. I care about clear architecture, systems that hold up in production, and code that other people can read.
I'm the Founder & CTO of Alias Project, where I design, build and run software for clients across the US. On my own time I build the tools I work with, including a Linux distro and a mail client.
