Michael Hospedales

Full-Stack Engineer who ships end-to-end · Miami, FL

I turn ideas into production-ready applications—from database design to pixel-perfect UIs. With 7+ years building web applications, I've developed a knack for choosing the right tool for each layer of the stack and making them work together seamlessly.

What I Bring to the Table

Frontend        →  React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Three.js
Backend         →  Node.js, Laravel, Python, Rust, GraphQL
Data            →  PostgreSQL, SQL, REST APIs
Infrastructure  →  AWS, Azure, CI/CD, Docker
Bonus           →  AR/VR, WebGL, 3D visualization, C#

I'm not just comfortable across the stack—I actively enjoy the context-switching. Need someone who can debug a database query in the morning and polish a micro-interaction in the afternoon? That's my sweet spot.

Featured Work

Aggregate Open Tabs – VS Code extension that consolidates your open files into a single document. Useful for code reviews, documentation, and AI-assisted development. (Made this before it was easy to move your codebase around to the major LLMs. Now it is simply a record of things passed)

Prompt Stash – Prompting patterns and techniques I've refined while working with LLMs. Part of my deeper dive into AI engineering and understanding how to communicate effectively with these models.

Currently Exploring

  • AI Engineering – Prompt engineering, fine-tuning LLMs, and building LoRAs for diffusion models. Fascinated by how to get the most out of these tools as both a user and builder.
  • Next.js 15 server components and the app directory architecture
  • Advanced Three.js patterns for immersive web experiences
