Mike Kasberg

I'm a husband, I'm a father, and I'm Catholic. I'm an Ubuntu Linux user, and I'm a staff software engineer at Strava. I've been at Strava more than five years and I continue to love working on an app I'm passionate about while solving interesting problems along the way!

Over the course of my career, I've worked for a variety of tech companies (Pariveda, SpotX, and Zen Planner), and I even taught high school math for a couple years as part of the Denver Teacher Residency. I have experience working on performance, scalability, feature development, systems architecture, and developer experience in a wide range of technologies including Linux, Ruby, PHP, Scala, Java, SQL, Redis, Kafka, Javascript, and Android. I enjoy solving diverse technical challenges, from fine-tuning database queries to improving user experience or architecting new systems that can handle our growing user base.

In my free time, I enjoy working on DIY tech projects, from 3D printing and electronics to home networking and Linux laptops. I write about these projects here on my blog, along with software development tutorials and technology reviews, to share what I learn along the way in hopes that others find it interesting and useful too!
