My name is Michael, I am a full-stack engineer working for Akamai. I am constantly learning and exploring this new world of creating things. Until a few years ago I had made a career in firefighting - with the increase in inflation I simply wasn't able to keep afloat. Eventually I was given an awesome opportunity to fill a Software Engineering role, which has opened doors I never thought possibe. I still get to help people, just in a totally new way :)!
