About Mike

Hey, I’m Mike Robinson.

I’m a full-stack web developer and technical lead who focuses on scalable architecture, intuitive user experiences, and developer tooling that accelerates teams. My work spans front-end and back-end systems, with an emphasis on clean design, accessible interfaces, and resilient infrastructure.

These days, I’m building with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, and I still have a soft spot for Django, which I’ve used since its early beta days. I’m equally fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. I enjoy the craft of building thoughtful, maintainable systems that scale.

How It Started

I got hooked on the web in high school. There was something magical about writing code and seeing it rendered instantly. From static HTML to early dynamic sites powered by PHP and MySQL, I was building before I even knew what “full stack” meant. That curiosity led to formal training in computer science and web development, and I’ve been building and maintaining real-world applications ever since.

What Drives Me

I care deeply about shipping quality software, fostering a healthy team culture, and removing friction between idea and execution. I’ve helped teams adopt modern practices like CI/CD, component libraries, API-first architectures, and platform thinking. I do my best work when I can combine hands-on technical tasks with a broad view of the system. I enjoy helping bridge the gaps between product, engineering, and design.

Outside of Work

I live in London, Ontario (yes, the Canadian one) with my family and our dog, Ellie. I play guitar in a local cover band, spend too much time perfecting espresso, and catch as many live concerts as I can. I’m also a lifelong Raptors fan, even today.

Thanks for stopping by.
