About Me
Hello! I'm Michael F. Collins, III, a passionate software developer and software architect with over thirty years of professional software development experience. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working on diverse projects, from building scalable enterprise applications to designing robust microservices architectures.
My Journey
My journey in software development began decades ago, and I've witnessed and adapted to the incredible evolution of technology. From the early days of procedural programming to today's cloud-native architectures, I've continuously embraced new technologies and methodologies to deliver exceptional solutions.
What I Do
As a software architect, I specialize in designing scalable, maintainable systems that solve real-world problems. My expertise spans multiple domains including:
- Software architecture and system design
- Cloud-native application development
- Microservices and distributed systems
- DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
- Modern web development with React and TypeScript
- Backend development with various languages and frameworks
Why I Write
This blog serves as a platform for me to share knowledge, document my learning journey, and contribute to the developer community. I write about technologies I'm exploring, lessons learned from real projects, and insights gained from years of experience. My goal is to help other developers navigate the complex world of software development and make informed technical decisions.
Beyond Code
When I'm not coding or designing systems, you'll find me in the kitchen experimenting with recipes (check out my recipes section!), staying active, or exploring new technologies and tools that can improve my craft.
Let's Connect
I'm always interested in connecting with fellow developers, discussing technology, or exploring potential collaborations. Feel free to reach out through any of my social media channels or send me an email at mfcollins3@me.com .
