I'm Mike Attara, a software engineer with a background in teaching science and mathematics.

I'm passionate about building products with delightful user experiences, and a desire to constantly learn and improve.

My strength lies within a solid understanding of the core JavaScript language, with hands-on experience in recent years in building scalable web applications using modern JavaScript tools like React, Redux, and Node.js. I also work with Typescript, Python, Ruby on Rails, Docker/Kubernetes, AWS (I'm AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner 👨🏾‍💻), and build CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions, CircleCI, Travis, Helm, ArgoCD, etc.

I enjoy working with people in cross-functional teams and learning new tools, best practices, and skills for building, delivering, and maintaining resilient software solutions. I also spend some time contributing to open source projects, and organizing and teaching at workshops and meetups, as I care about giving back to the community.
