Michaux Kelley

I'm Michaux — a senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years shipping production React, Next.js, and Node.js for healthcare, security, retail, and marketplace platforms. I specialize in accessible, performant UI at scale, disciplined testing, and AWS cloud architecture.

Lately I work forward-deployed: bringing AI-assisted development — Claude Code, Copilot, MCP servers, prompt and context engineering — into real teams and real codebases.

Away from the terminal: music, meditation, and a steady diet of non-fiction.

cat ./ai-toolbox

I don't just use AI tools — I deploy them into teams.
