About Me
Hi, I'm Mike Klein, a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in developing innovative solutions across various industries. My journey has taken me from the U.S. Coast Guard to the tech world, where I've led teams, architected complex systems, and delivered high-impact projects.
I specialize in full-stack development, with expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, and cloud technologies. My experience spans from startups to government agencies, giving me a unique perspective on solving diverse technological challenges.
When I'm not coding, I love spending time with my wife and daughter, especially going on vacations together. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy, enjoy fishing, and like to unwind with video games. I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and continuously learning both in my professional and personal life.
