Michael Elder Email & Phone Number

(Caveat: in process of updating LinkedIn, some stuff may be outdated. Ask for resume for best source of truth)I'm a seasoned Senior Full Stack Application Developer with over a decade of professional experience in the tech world. My expertise lies in crafting robust backend architectures, scaling and optimizing systems, and ensuring they run like a well-oiled machine. What sets me apart is my knack for thriving in challenging environments. I have a natural ability to connect with diverse individuals, teams, and partners, making it easy to adapt quickly and effectively.I'm your go-to person for writing clear, concise, and thorough technical specifications, developing APIs, seamlessly integrating with internal + third-party vendor APIs, documentation, and similar things that drive the ladies wild. Additionally, I have a keen sense for collecting and parsing relevant data, ensuring all branches of the organization have the information they need.Even though I'm more of a "big picture" individual, I do not shy from getting my hands dirty by digging into code, tweaking bits and pieces, and squashing bugs big and small (while - full disclosure - introducing some in the process ;) ). I thrive on opportunities to prototype, design, implement, and deploy revenue-generating, production-quality applications and services. I also enjoy mentoring, leadership, and helping those around me grow in skills, confidence, and potential.
