Hi, I am Micah Asowata. I am a software engineer.

I decided in 2023 that I would call myself a software engineer rather than a backend engineer or frontend engineer because I think the best engineers are those who can efficient switch from domain to domain productively. Besides I really the idea of a small team of 4 or 5 engineers who are building a fantastic product and in those kinds of teams those who can wear multiple hats fashionably are usually the best fits.

This is the my personal space on the internet and as you can tell it is very simple. I love simplicity. I believe the best products are the simplest e.g using Google is nothing more than typing text into a search bar. There is certainly complexities underneath that simplicity but users really should not be burdened with that.

I am aiming to write more. I do a lot of private writing to get my thoughts together already but I am aiming to write more in public.

Since July I've been making deliberate effort to improve my attention span and reading habits by reading novels, technical articles (papers and blog posts) and so far one thesis.

In summary, I am a software engineer that is very willing to wear multiple hats and learn new things on small teams building excellent products. If that's true about your team, send me a message
