Michael Garrick Byrne

Typical full stack MVC.NET Web Application developer using C# to React.js in a GitHub/MS Azure environment


Indescriminate creative with endeavors including EDM DJ, graphic design, music production, recording engineer, singer/songwriter, and film/commercial acting.


Basically, I really like to make ideas into actual things with like-minded people, so I just chase that and it seems to be working. It really doesn't matter what the tools are. Or what it's made out of. Software, silkscreens, sound, light, it's the making part that's important.

My value isn't in my hard skills. It's in the 15+ years spent solving business problems with scalable, bigger-picture solutions. Software built to last, or effortlessly evolve. It's in learning from subject matter experts. Only then is it about you. Your hard skills, experience, and pulling from any strategies you successfully used prior.

Work Experience

Marketing Technology is my jam. I've worked in finance, HR, legal, tech startups, but the way emerging tech and marketing initiatives fit together can result in some impressive and informative deliverables. And if you're lucky, all teams are cooperative and saavy enough to take up any slack. It's not just about web sites selling ideas or "stuff". There are invisible, valuable tools that provide insight into people. And when not used for evil, they are powerful tools for good. Access to emerging tech is a given, and it's an industry that has rarely left me feeling unclean.
