Michael Hegner

Full Stack Developer

Hi there!

I’m a Full-stack developer with a focus on React.js. My professional interests revolve around improving quality of life with technology. I prefer to work on projects that look beyond the bottom line and bring the highest level of quality and UX to their applications.

Before I became a developer I was a recording engineer and musician. Working with bands and artists taught me the intricacies of collaboration and breaking down abstract ideas into actionable tasks. It also provided me ample experiences of troubleshooting in high stress situations.

In my personal life I’m an avid consumer of fantasy and sci-fi entertainment. I still produce and record music, but on a recreational basis. I have two cats named Annie and Luna and I would love to travel to Japan one day.

Projects

  • Budget Planner

    A need I had was a way to calculate the results of my spending while accounting for subscriptions and necessities.

  • National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM)

    I led development on this site redesign. NKFM had an aged website that needed significant improvements in both the aesthetic design and the UX. This Wordpress website uses a custom theme based on the Genesis framework.
