Michael Simon

Hi, I’m Michael.

I’m a software developer from Phoenix, Arizona focused on building, fixing, and maintaining real production systems.

What I Work On

I work across modern frontend and legacy production stacks, including Svelte 5, TypeScript, Tailwind, ASP.NET Core, C#, AngularJS, MSSQL, and MySQL. I’m comfortable moving between clean greenfield work and large, long-lived codebases.

In my current role, I ship production code for a high-traffic CRM used by thousands of businesses. That includes frontend and backend fixes, database-safe changes, live debugging, and pushing updates all the way through deployment.

Beyond Writing Code

I regularly handle the unglamorous but critical work: performance tuning, AWS email deliverability, SQL data integrity, legacy ASP/VBS, and production debugging under real constraints.

I also build client-facing websites, end-to-end architecture, performance, SEO, accessibility, custom WordPress plugins, REST API integrations, and CRM automations. The goal is always the same: operational, maintainable, and measurable systems.

What I Bring to a Team

• Strong debugging instincts and systems thinking
• Full-stack comfort from UI to database to infrastructure
• Respect for production stability and clean version control
• Clear communication with engineers and non-technical teams
• Practical solutions over theoretical purity

I care about shipping real software, fixing real problems, and leaving systems better than I found them.
