Summary
Michael Pérez is a multidisciplinary chef-owner and software engineer with 12 years of experience building data-driven web applications, ETL/streaming pipelines, and production infrastructure while running a neighborhood restaurant in Spain. He blends culinary entrepreneurship and technical pragmatism—having founded food businesses, run a kitchen, and architected systems using Python, Airflow, Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and AWS. His portfolio spans full-stack product work (Django REST, VueJS, Angular) to backend data engineering (Spark, Kinesis, Redshift) and developer tooling (Jenkins pipelines, idempotent ETL processes). Geographically independent and writer of locally inspired recipes and technical prose, he brings an uncommon mix of operational grit, design-minded frontend craft, and scalable backend engineering to small teams or freelance projects.
