1 Articles0 CommentsMike Mackrory is a Global citizen who has settled down in the Pacific Northwest – for now. By day he works as an Engineer Manager for a DevOps team, and by night he writes and tinkers with other technology projects. When he’s not tapping on the keys, he can be found trail running, hiking, and exploring both the urban and the rural landscape with his kids. Always happy to help out another developer, he has a definite preference for helping those who bring gifts of gourmet donuts, craft beer, and/or Single-malt Scotch.
