Summary:

Hi, I'm Mike. As a Principal Engineer at Cantina with more than 12 years of experience, I lead teams focused on building solutions to challenging problems. One of my proudest accomplishments as a technical lead came when I helped architect and build (brand new) the entire Oxford English Dictionary website, which is still in use today almost a decade later. At Cantina, I’ve helped one of our clients revolutionize how sports will be watched with the Your Call Football platform.
