About Me

Hey 👋, I'm Michael Famurewa, a software engineer based in Ann Arbor, MI.

In 2018, I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Political Science and a desire to become a lawyer, but while I was studying for the LSAT I realized that Law School wasn't the right move for me. During this time I started to code again and this reignited my love of technology.

I enjoy creating things that will have an impact on peoples lives whether that is through learning or enabling people to do things that weren't possible for them before. I love learning new things and getting others to enjoy learning as much as I do is something I go out of my way to do.

I recently graduated from the fullstack web development program at Lambda School, and am looking for my first software engineering position

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • HTML & (S)CSS
  • React
  • Python (3)
  • Node.js
  • WordPress
  • Gatsby
  • React Native
