About

#about

5+ years shipping production software as an independent engineer. Owner of Micah Lloyd Technologies LLC, working across full-stack web, infra, and AI-assisted tooling. Comfortable owning a project end-to-end: api → ui → ops.

Proven ability to learn complex systems without formal credentials. Picked up Rust to build the NoBase websocket gateway, picked up FFmpeg processing to cut Portal Volleyball's bandwidth by 65%. Multi-process human: software engineer, AI enthusiast, and startup operator.

Boring stack on purpose. Fewer surprises, better sleep. Pick the tool that lets the product ship, not the one that wins the demo.

Principles

#principles

01 / boring_stack

Boring stack on purpose.

Fewer surprises, better sleep. The right tool is the one that lets the product ship and stay shipped, not the one that wins the demo.

02 / api_to_ui_to_ops

Own the whole loop.

I build it, host it, monitor it, fix it. End-to-end ownership keeps decisions honest. You can't externalize a bad schema choice onto someone else.

03 / ship_then_iterate

Ship, then iterate.

A real user beats a perfect spec. Get the smallest useful slice in front of someone, learn from the friction, and cut what doesn't earn its weight.

04 / learn_in_public

No credential required.

Picked up Rust to ship a websocket gateway, FFmpeg processing to cut 65% bandwidth. The system tells you what it needs.
