HELLO, I'M
Michael Evans - Software & Growth Engineer
I bridge the gap between engineering excellence and growth metrics. Building scalable products with Ruby on Rails, React, and data-driven experimentation.
About Me
I'm a full-stack developer specialising in Ruby on Rails and React with extensive experience in Node.js, GraphQL, and TypeScript. I'm always looking for opportunities to improve my skills and broaden my professional horizons.
Since May 2025, I've been working as a Growth Engineer—partnering with product, design, and marketing teams to drive activation, retention, and revenue through experiments and data-informed product changes.
My journey began in marketing, where I discovered web development in 2014. After teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through Codecademy, I built responsive landing pages as an SEO manager before transitioning to frontend development in 2016 and eventually full-stack engineering.
