Professional Summary
I’m Mike Romero, a software engineer with a passion for building impactful digital experiences. I enjoy working with modern web technologies and solving complex problems.
I’ve had some cool opportunities to work as a consultant for Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, where I helped design and implement robust systems that ensure high availability and performance. My expertise lies in creating scalable solutions that meet the demands of today’s fast-paced digital landscape.
I’ve also leveled up my skills in Platform Engineering and Operations Engineering, focusing on efficient monitoring, automation, and continuous improvement. My goal is to create platforms that empower teams to deliver high-quality software quickly and reliably.
What I do when not working
When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring new technologies, exploring the great outdoors, learning new projects, and sharing my knowledge with the community.
Currently, I am working on a wide set of technology projects including Self Hosted AI projects including Image and Video Generation, coding and agentic workflows, and also tinkering with enterprise servers in my home lab. Please don’t ask me about my power bill.
In the great outdoors I love hiking, backpacking, camping, and learning skills such as foraging, bushcraft, and fishing. When i am not doing these traditional outdoors activities, you can find me on my bike putting hours in the saddle riding across the Salt Lake Valley and the Wasatch Front.
Around the house, I enjoy cooking, baking, and gardening. I find myself experimenting with new recipes and growing my own vegetables. I also love spending time with my family, whether it’s playing board games, watching movies, or just enjoying each other’s company.
I live a full life, and enjoy every moment of it. I also enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge with others, whether it’s through writing, speaking, or mentoring. I believe in the power of community and collaboration, and I’m always looking for ways to give back and help others grow. In this, i do art when i need a creative outlet, and I love to share my art with others. You can find some of my work on Instagram.
I want to embody the warrior poet and philosopher Miyamoto Musashi’s philosophy of “The Way is in Training,” and I strive to apply this principle in all aspects of my life. Whether it’s through continuous learning, honing my skills, or simply enjoying the journey, I believe that the path to mastery is a lifelong pursuit. I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow, both personally and professionally. If you’re interested in collaborating or just want to connect, feel free to reach out!
