Micah Mount
> Software engineer // Bellingham, WA
I love building software that people find delightful to use.
Ten years across technical support, QA and full-stack product work, now shipping TypeScript end to end. I build mobile-first web apps, automate the boring parts of my own life, and write about what I learn along the way.
