Full-Stack Engineer & Designer

Michael Cummings

I build products at the intersection of design and engineering. With over six years of experience, I specialize in crafting scalable serverless architectures and pixel-perfect user interfaces.

About

I'm a full-stack engineer with deep expertise in AWS, Next.js, React, and TypeScript. From architecting scalable serverless backends to crafting visually engaging interfaces, I bring a holistic approach to every project.

My background with design tools like Figma, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop enables me to build brands from the ground up. I've created everything from logos and style guidelines to high-fidelity product mockups.

Beyond my professional roles, I've collaborated with local Chicago brands to bring unique, cutting-edge digital experiences to life. Whether I'm designing a custom logo, integrating sophisticated payment systems, or architecting secure infrastructure, my goal is to elevate the user experience and help brands stand out.
