SKILLS
ABOUT MICHAEL MURPHY
I\'m a Software Engineering Manager and player-coach with 5+ years of engineering leadership and 12+ years building full-stack systems at scale. I ship AI-powered products, grow engineers from intern to architect, and partner with product and business stakeholders to turn roadmaps into working software.I\'ve led distributed engineering teams across time zones, owned large microservices ecosystems, and driven platform modernization from monolith to microservices. More recently, I\'ve become my org\'s go-to for AI tooling strategy, evaluating tools, building prompt workflows, and helping engineers adopt AI-assisted development in their daily work.My technical roots are in React/Next.js, Ruby/Rails, Java/Spring Boot, and AWS, but the hardest engineering problems are usually people problems. Hiring well, developing talent, building trust across a distributed team, and creating the right processes so a team can ship with confidence. That\'s the work I find most rewarding.Areas of focus: Engineering Management, Technical Leadership, People Management, Team Building, Hiring and Talent Development, System Design and Architecture, Microservices, Cloud Infrastructure, AI/LLM Integration, Platform Engineering, Agile/Scrum, Cross-Functional Collaboration, DevOps, CI/CD, Distributed Teams, SaaS, Stakeholder Management
