About
Elevator Pitch:
"Hi, I'm Michael Hogan, a software engineer with a distinctive edge. My background in analytics and logistics gives me a unique perspective that fuels my creativity and deepens my understanding of user experience. I use these insights to develop intuitive and engaging software, crafting innovative solutions that stand out. In the era of AI, where technical tasks are increasingly automated, my talent lies in generating and applying out-of-the-box ideas that make technology truly valuable. I’m passionate about combining my diverse skills to create user-centric software and groundbreaking concepts."
Backstory:
Welcome! I'm a dedicated Full-Stack Software Engineer fueled by the excitement of a profession that demands continuous learning and expertise in products that impact the daily lives of millions. I particularly enjoy the challenge of software engineering, front-end for the development where I can creatively bring user interfaces to life, and the satisfaction in the foundational structuring of back-end work, that power seamless a user experiences.
Not wanting to rack up tremendous college debt and help securing my financial future I enlisted in the Army Reserves to travel, network, gain invaluable life experience, and of course pay for college. During my service with two deployments (one to Iraq and one to Afghanistan) I was able to graduate from UNLV with a degree in Management Information Systems and pursue my interest in data analysis. While I found the work rewarding, enjoyable, and challenging, I found myself more interested in the technical aspects of the work and wanted to enhance and develop the software we used on a daily basis.
Inspired by this drive, I decided to change my focus into Software engineering. I find the work to be very engaging and fulfilling, and catch myself having a difficult time to separate myself from working on projects and thinking on what changes I think I could implement to improve upon things I'm regularly interacting with.
Resume
Note about my long employment gap.
After leaving Fluor in 2018 I took a break from working to help take care of my father with dementia full time until 2020, after his passing I decided to take a prolonged sabbatical to pursue personal goals and projects. During that extended period, I briefly started a billing company, and delved a little into network administration but ultimately decided to pursue software enginnering.
