About Michael Chamerski

Senior software engineer with 8+ years of experience across scientific computing, full stack product development, and distributed systems. I have worked from first principles in technical domains, building data processing pipelines, simulation tooling, and production web applications that serve real customers. My work spans frontend and backend architecture, database design, integration of third party services, and the design of systems that remain maintainable as teams and products scale. I have also contributed to blockchain and decentralized platforms, including smart contract logic and supporting infrastructure. With formal training in physics and electrical engineering, I bring a strong analytical approach to problem solving, clear thinking around trade offs, and a focus on reliability and simplicity in production code.
