Hi, my name is

Mike Portman

Web Developer.

About Me

Mike here! Thanks for checking out my website. I am a self taught developer located in Austin, TX. In my previous life I received my bachelors in Political Science at San Jose State and had some years of experience managing local and corporate retail stores.

Fast-forward to today for how long I’ve been there’s not been a day that goes by thinking without me about how happy I decided to switch careers. It was a lot of work learning from scratch but well worth it. I’ve had the privilege of working on sites for local nonprofits up to publicly traded companies.

Some interests outside of work are:

  • Training and running marathons
  • Teaching my dog how to be a good boy
  • Playing old 60’s songs on guitar
  • Growing veggies in the backyard
  • Going on long walks with the wife and dog
