Mike Kawasaki
Software Engineer in San Diego
Hi, I'm Mike.
I'm a software engineer who enjoys programming, home labbing, and building things with all kinds of technology. Love open source, automation and virtualization. I'm eager to be part of shaping the future of the internet.
Outside of coding, I spend my alone time on digital drawing, animation, and video editing. I love comedy, Disney, manga, anime, and art.
