Hi, I'm Michael
I also develop full-stack applications, APIs, and automation tools, enabling end-to-end solutions from backend systems to user-facing interfaces. Background in scientific research informs a rigorous approach to data quality, analysis, and technical communication.

A selection of my work
Cryptocurrency Tracker
After recent success in the cryptocurrency market. I decided to build an efficient cryptocurrency tracker. It grabs the latest prices for any and all cryptocurrencis that the user defines. Here are a few features:
- An alerting sytem, that lets you know when a currency’s price has moved out of preset bounds, or if a currency’s price has changed by more than a given percentage in a given time.
- Graph price history of a currency in USD
- Graph price history of a currency relative to another currency BTC/GOLD
- “Last at” queries, which enable you to see at a glance when a currency was, if ever, at a given price.
Molecular DataBase (a Protein Conformational Pipeline)
The lab where I worked at FSU was studying protein dynamis - the ways that proteins move in order to do their particular functions. This has been studied by many others. But when each research group database of protein movements, they change the definition of what kind of movement is taking place.
In order to make possible a cross-comparison of conformational studies I created a unified data pipeline capable of injesting data from:
- html formats for DynDom and Protein Structual Change (PSC) databases
- Protein Data Bank api json results
- SCOPe categorization database custom file formats
Once this data was gathered, PySpark transformed it into tables which could be queried with ordinary SQL, enabling easy cross-comparison of databases. One of the most advanced features of this code is the of subclasses and graphlib to handle recursive dependencies, which is a particular issue with the Protein Data Bank.
Clioreader
Clioreader is a full-stack web application using Flask, BootStrap, and Amazon Web Services to enable a user to upload text, including pdf format books, and convert them into audiobooks using Amazon’s state-of-the-art Text-To-Speech engine.
