I’m Mitchell Lester, a full stack developer at me&u. Outside of work, I’m usually building side projects through Bloom Coffee Industries or tinkering with product ideas of my own.
Over the last 5+ years I’ve worked across hospitality, property, and drone technology, usually in roles where I can move between front-end, back-end, and integrations depending on what the product needs.
Most of what I work on lives in private repositories, so this profile is really just a snapshot of the stack, domains, and kinds of systems I enjoy building.
- Full stack product development across web apps, internal tools, and APIs
- Front-end work in Angular and React with TypeScript-first codebases
- Back-end services in Java and Spring Boot, plus integration-heavy product work
- Mobile and cross-platform work with React Native and Flutter where it fits
- Senior Software Engineer at me&u
