Hi, I'm Mike; I've been a backend polyglot SDE / sometimes SRE / sometimes engineering manager with around twenty five years of experience in total. I'm a pretty flexible guy; whether it's code, systems, or people I try hard to be a useful mammal. Some of the places I've worked that you might recognize: Yahoo, Oracle (at their AWS competitor), the New York Times. I've also worked at a fair number of startups and mid-size companies over the years, and spent time acting as a consultant. tl;dr for why I'm on the market is that upper management at my last employer decided to let international remote employees go (I'm a US citizen in the UK on a spousal visa; I have full right to work for both US and UK employers without undue paperwork/visa hassles on their end).

What I'm looking for: I'm happy to dive in either as a senior individual contributor or as an engineering manager. I have no strong preferences on org size; having worked at both ends of the spectrum they each have their benefits. I'm flexible on industry too (I might have to think hard about defense). I can work US compatible hours as well as UK ones. I am not a zealot about any particular technology stack or engineering process but in an ideal world I think I'd be happiest working in something like Java or Kotlin in a linux environment building things like APIs, data pipelines, etc. or leading a team doing the same. I'm open to consulting but all things considered a full-time role is more what I'm looking for at present.

Thank you for reading, and good luck to all searching for a job or a new hire! :)

My focus has been on browser automation and building browser agents since 2018, with 13 years of enterprise experience building dynamic data user interfaces for web and mobile. I have experience working at both medium 130 person AI companies and small, fast-moving 7 person teams wearing many different hats, which I prefer. I have been instrumental in taking multiple companies from 0 to 1, both as a consultant and as a full-time employee in media, real estate, marketing, streaming services, education, and fintech.

Currently, I have a few side projects building Chrome extensions using VSCode’s core libraries. First is a fully automated algorithmic trading platform that uses a Chrome extension to control Robinhood and several information streams doing real time market intelligence using AI. [0] The second is recreating the Playwright / Puppeteer client API to use Chrome extension APIs and DOM APIs without the Chrome DevTools Protocol. I call it Cordyceps. [1]

I look forward to speaking with you :)

Hello! I'm a technical product manager/lead looking for a new role (I've had luck on here previously). I've worked at startups and in the enterprise, across a few spaces, and was PM #1 twice. My favorite products have manifested as platforms, and I particularly enjoy building for a developer-user (API's, SDK's), but those aren't hard requirements.

Ideally I am building something important, that will challenge me, on a team that will do the same. I've been consulting for a while and am looking to join a company in a permanent, full-time role.

Thanks!
