Background

About Michael McGuirk

I am a versatile solution developer with over 10 years of experience in a variety of industries, comfortable working in many layers of a stack. I am also an avid gaming enthusiast and have collaborated on a number of projects, including development, community building, streaming, and tournament organization for the StarCraft 2 Arcade map Kobold Tribes. Among other projects, I have worked extensively on commercial modernization, including the migration of legacy FoxPro solutions to other platforms such as Microsoft CRM Dynamics. My work style is highly analytical and based on my education in philosophy and mathematics. I thrive best in an environment where I am also able to leverage my creativity and artistic interests. My work product is often magnified in both paired and small team development settings. My career goals lie in the Gaming and E-Sports industry; however, I am open to both new and familiar work experiences."You tell your kids to play fair, right, you say,'. it's not whether or not you win, it's how you play the game.' And you say that and you don't really know what you mean. You feel kind of stupid saying it even though you know it's true. And your kid looks at you like there's something wrong with you because he doesn't know what you are talking about either. But you know it's true. And so here's why it's true: Life isn't a game, it's a set of games; and the rule is: never sacrifice victory across the set of games for victory in one game."-Jordan Peterson, https://youtu.be/IkYclTOItAk?t=440
