Hi my name is Mike Brajkovich. I am a software engineer that builds tools that enhance people's lives. I work with C# and Angular to solve problems with that at the forefront of my mind. Software should be created for real people with usability and satisfaction as the foundation upon which everything is built around.
I am a Chicago native. I am a Saluki —a graduate of Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU). In addition to being a software engineer, I am also an instructor at Saint Louis University. I love teaching and I believe that mentoring helps us all grow, together. If I'm not teaching or coding I'm probably reading, gaming, playing with new tech gadgets, or learning how to make coffee in new and interesting ways.
If you want to get in touch, please reach out to me on social media or email. You can find them at the bottom of this page. Feel free to drop a follow too.
