Hi, I'm MJ!
I'm a backend and platform focused software engineer with 10+ years experience designing, building, and maintaining multi-component and distributed systems. I'm passionate about growing great teams, shifting left, shipping fast, and shortening feedback loops.

Feature flag service. Includes percentage and rule-based rollouts.

image resizer
Service for resizing images via API. Submit an image through an easy-to-use POST endpoint. Stored images can then be resized using an intuitive API endpoint. Images are served through a Cloudfront distribution. Used in the scavenger.news CMS for creating thumbnails and generating right-sized images for the front-facing site.
Python
fortune cookie generator
API that returns random fortune cookie text. Fortune cookie text was scraped from a site with ~900 different fortunes. Uses FastAPI with code generated from an OpenAPI spec.
Python
Serato crates
Python package for programmatically updating Serato crates. This library provides a python class for interacting with a user's Serato library. There is a large amount of binary parsing and editing and is a good showcase of my skills deconstructing unique filetypes.
Python
Wavcrate
One of my earliest projects that is also a full-fledged product ready for refinement. A mashup of the functionality of Soundcloud, Bandcamp, and Tumblr. Wavcrate enables music creators to own the presentation of their content on the web. Think Squarespace, but for music creators.
