I'm Michael, an engineer at Complete. While my focus in the past has been primarily on the frontend, I'm always learning and I enjoy working across the stack. I started at Complete in August 2023, and have worked on every aspect of our stack and product offerings. Previously I worked at a startup in Berkeley called Grabango, where we were building computer-vision based retrofit solutions for cashierless checkout.

Growing up in Sunnyvale, I was surrounded by tech from a young age, and have always enjoyed tinkering, modifying, breaking, and sometimes fixing things. My first job was an internship where I spent a summer doing IT Helpdesk Support. This was a challenging and truly formative experience for me, and laid a foundation for the customer-focused career I lead today. Empathy is a hugely underrated skill in engineering.

When I'm not at the computer I'm usually driving, fixing, racing, breaking, buying, or selling cars. I'm a man of many hobbies, but I'll always be a car guy first.
