FrontEnd Engineer who loves user-centric innovation and product evolution.

I'm Michael Watterston, a Frontend Developer with over 7 years of experience optimizing user experiences and driving product evolution across web and mobile platforms. My work has supported 50M+ users and 4,000+ organizations worldwide through scalable, accessible, and high-performance digital products.

At Mendix (Siemens), I’ve led development on React-based applications used globally, spearheaded accessibility initiatives as a Web Accessibility Champion, and mentored developers on WCAG and UX best practices. I thrive on solving complex interaction challenges, translating user insights into elegant technical solutions, and shaping products that continuously improve user satisfaction and engagement.
Grounded in design thinking and clean, maintainable code, I bridge the gap between design and engineering to deliver cohesive, user-centered solutions.

Currently pursuing an MSc in Applied Artificial Intelligence, I’m exploring how AI can enhance front-end development and redefine the next generation of intelligent, human-focused applications.
