Hello, I’m Mike.
Software Developer & AR Creator

By day I'm a backend software developer at 7-Eleven.

By night I am an augmented reality creator specializing in Snapchat lenses.

Who am I?

I am a strange mix of science, art, and tech. I got my degree in biochemistry and then moved into the tech sector, first doing customer support and then working my way into a developer role. I went back to school for more biochemistry, but then decided that I liked tech better and made the switch back into the field.

My professional experience is all in backend web development, but I do have some experience with frontend development through some side projects I work on.
