Hey, I'm Mike!
As a Principal Software Engineer at Capital One, I work in a fast pace Agile environment. I design and develop fully Serverless solutions using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to handle upwards of billions of rows of data daily. Equipped with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science and Systems Engineering respectively from the University at Buffalo and Cornell, I am a well-qualified software engineer ready to face complex engineering challenges head-on!
Prior to Capital one, I was a team lead at Lockheed Martin developing Java based apps for operators out in the field to analyze mission critical data. I also completed Lockheed Martin's Engineering Leadership Development Program (ELDP) where I completed a 3 year rotational program schedule and develop in different environments & teams across the company while also completing a Masters degree. While there, I also performed as the STEM lead for the Manassas, VA RMS site engaging with schools in the community, gathering volunteering metrics and coordinating/leading/hosting events to inspire the next generation of engineers!
When not at work, I'm most likely gaming on Xbox, playing ice hockey, traveling with my soon to be wife or am out taking pictures. I love photography and sharing with my friends how I see the world. Visual design is something I am very passionate about, if it doesn’t look good chances are I won’t stop till it's perfect. This website is the best way I have to communicate my images and ideas to people. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing someone's amazing reaction to one of your own pictures.
I’ve also had a pair of hockey skates on my feet since I was 4 years old and I’ve been in love with the game ever since. Living in Buffalo has been a great place for me to develop a love for the Bills and Sabres! Now currently living in Virginia I have become an avid Capitals fan.
I am a confident, outgoing and hardworking young adult who is advancing their promising career at Capital One and I hope you enjoy the look and design of my website!
