Mike has been a software engineer for over 10 years and loves finding new ways to solve problems with software. Mike started coding part-time in college (where he majored in music) as a way to help pay for school, but it didn’t take long before music took a back seat and coding became a full-time adventure. Mike has worked on a broad array of software applications including point-of-sale systems, education applications, CRM software and more. He currently leads the front-end team at Smarty, whose software is used by thousands of organizations to validate, standardize, and geocode addresses. Mike has been married for over 12 years and has five children. He loves camping in Utah’s beautiful outdoors, singing in and/or directing choirs for his church, and building his reputation for telling far too many dad jokes.
