the short version
hey, I'm mikel, a full-stack & mobile developer who's happiest when a rough idea turns into something people actually use. I've shipped apps to the app store and play store, and I mostly use react, flutter, swift, and node when I'm building.
outside of code, I spend a lot of time in the cloud, aws and azure, wiring up infra, keeping things stable, keeping bills sensible. and yeah, I also do & help desk work: tickets, troubleshooting, calming down a stressed user, all of it.
I like the mix. building the thing, running the thing, and helping the person using the thing.
what I use
a bit of a mixed toolkit. i lean into whatever fits the problem best.
