Michael Swartz

Software Engineering Manager — developer tooling & release engineering

I lead engineering teams that build the platforms other engineers rely on: developer tooling, release-management systems, and the cloud infrastructure underneath them. My background spans hands-on DevOps and infrastructure engineering to managing the people and roadmap behind large-scale software delivery.

Projects

MCRoaster

A DIY fluid-bed coffee roaster controller built on an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi with a real-time React web interface — dual-mode PID temperature control, live roast graphs, safety monitoring, and a guided workflow from preheat through cooling, all run from the browser over WebSerial.

SF Calc

A fast, single-file production-chain calculator for the game Satisfactory — recursively breaks any item down into its full raw-resource and machine-count requirements, with no build step or framework.

outlook-client

A Microsoft Graph API client for Outlook mail and calendar that skips standing up an OAuth server — uses device-code flow for a one-time login, then caches a refresh token locally.

anthropic-usage

A dependency-free CLI, built on nothing but the Python stdlib, that pulls token usage and cost data straight from the Anthropic API for quick usage and billing checks.
