👋 Hi, I’m Mike Attara

Human-centric Software Engineer with a background in teaching science and mathematics. I architect and build resilient backend systems and scalable platforms — crafting intuitive, user-friendly products that solve real-world problems. I’m driven by thoughtful design, cross-functional collaboration, and a lifelong commitment to learning and growth.

🚀 What I Do

  • 🧱 Design and build distributed systems and modern web applications
  • 🛠 Develop clean, scalable backend architecture using Ruby on Rails, NestJS, and Spring Boot
  • 🎨 Craft responsive frontends with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS
  • 🚢 Deploy to production using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS (Certified Cloud Practitioner 👨🏾‍💻, currently preparing for the Solutions Architect certification)
  • ⚙️ Set up robust CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Helm, and ArgoCD

🧠 What I Value

  • 🛠 Crafting systems that are scalable, maintainable, and user-focused
  • 🤝 Working with people in cross-functional teams
  • 🎙 Sharing knowledge through workshops, meetups, and open-source contributions
  • 🌍 Growing inclusive developer communities through GDG Accra, FOSUniverse, DjangoGirls, and RailsGirls
  • 🌱 Embracing new technologies and tools when they better solve real-world problems

📌 Currently

  • 🔭 Building backend systems to streamline equipment appraisal workflows at Purple Wave Auction
  • 🎓 Deepening my expertise in software architecture, cloud-native engineering best practices, and technology leadership & entrepreneurship

🤝 Let’s Connect

  • 💼 Open to conversations around impactful backend, full-stack, or developer advocacy opportunities

    While I’m not actively job hunting, I’m open to the right opportunity — especially one aligned with my passion for resilient systems and community-driven technology.

  • 💬 Ask me about: designing scalable systems with Rails, NestJS, or Spring Boot; building modern UIs with React; developing microservices and APIs; improving developer experience; or contributing to open source projects and communities

  • 📫 Let’s connect: EmailTwitterLinkedIn

  • Fun Fact: I’m endlessly curious — and nothing beats the satisfaction of tracking down and crushing tricky bugs. 🐛
