Hi, I'm Mike, a passionate full-stack developer and web designer with over 8 years of hands-on experience in the ever-evolving world of web development. I've been an active user for more than a decade, and I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and expertise with you.

In my journey, I've had the pleasure of tutoring students right here on Wyzant for over 3 years. My initial focus was on static front-end and server technologies, including MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. However, I recently spent a year diving into the exciting world of modern dynamic web development. During this time, I embraced cutting-edge technologies, creating client-side applications and web apps using advanced frameworks and libraries such as React and exploring the world of server-side and static site generation with Next.js, including new releases that use the "App Router". I also transitioned from PHP and MySQL to cloud-based hosting and deployment, leveraging platforms like GitHub, Vercel, AWS, Netlify, and Heroku.

I understand the challenges of staying up-to-date in this fast-paced field, and I'm here to help. Whether you're grappling with a specific issue, aiming to enhance your project, or exploring new methods, I'm ready to assist you on your web development journey. I can also recommend valuable resources for your independent practice. Web development is not just a profession; it's a dynamic and rewarding adventure. I look forward to accompanying you on your path to success.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance!

Computer

CSS,

CSS

Years of experience using HTML / CSS and extensive understanding of its functions allow for the creation of fluid and functional templates, websites and interfaces. Through years of programming experience i have developed methods that are simple, well tested and reliable. The use of GPU accelerated rendering ensures not only higher, but also more consistent frame rates and response times of media and animated objects. Media queries and CSS grids maintain function and appearance of web applications across the broad range of computer systems and mobile devices.
HTML,

HTML

I have been a front-end developer for almost five years with a focus on static sites using HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. Many of my early projects focused on these core skills and have improved over time. Over the past year, I have changed my focus to server and client-side rendered applications using Javascript and Javascript frameworks and libraries like React and Next.js as well as modern code management and deployment methods. As an active developer, I have learned a lot from the community like new tools and methods to improve my workflow and code more efficiently and effectively.
JavaScript,

JavaScript

I have spent the past few years learning and gaining experience with JavaScript and JS frameworks like React and Nextjs. During this time I have created many performant, data-driven and user-focused applications utilizing node, express, React, and many other packages and programs. Many of these applications have been deployed to AWS, Heroku and Vercel. The many cycles of design, development, deployment and testing have offered a great deal of experience and exposure to the lifecycle of websites, web apps, PWA's and native apps.
PHP,

PHP

The first half of my 10+ years of my development experience was based around creating real-time data-driven websites using PHP and MySQL. During this time I much of my effort was dedicated to making performant and accessible sites that utilized common and repeatable design patterns such as the MVC pattern, especially when connecting to external services and data sources. Testing and proving the efficacy and efficiency of applications is very important and is a skill I have acquired through extensive trial and error while developing with PHP.
Web Design,

I needed help, and Michael knew exactly what to do about my situation. I know code the old way and understanding Github and pushing up new changes to the site is confusing. He is patient and did a great job in my situation.
