I’ve been at Mercury for about five years. Before that, I did a bunch of smaller projects with various companies for a few years.
Wrote some Haskell at Mercury
Led many internal creative projects in my role as Cultural Engineer (can share a portfolio of some of that work upon request)
Large variety of creative tasks: coding, designing, video editing, music composing, photoshopping, 3d modeling, event planning, writing, teaching, filming
Helped more than 30 of the software engineers there learn Haskell
Mitchell is a creative genius
–Juliana Vislova, VP of
Design
Started Hylomorphic, as an umbrella for my work building software for several other companies
Wrote technical blog posts about functional programming and machine learning (Haskell and TensorFlow)
Mentored students at Thinkful on basic Python, numpy, and statistics (e.g. p-values, t tests, frequency counting) as part of the data science curriculum
Helped AdmitAlly during crunch time to match college mentors with prospective high school students, using TypeScript
Mitchell is a versatile and highly capable engineer…Each time there
was a problem that needed immediate attention, Mitchell helped me
understand different solution options and the pros/cons of taking each
route. As a non-technical founder, I greatly valued having someone
handle a large part of this work and help me make decisions as quickly
and efficiently as possible.

Solved problems at Rookie Road
I turned to Mitchell’s expertise in automation and machine learning
when I wanted to explore some R&D projects for my company. Mitchell
was able to add value by coming up with a clever and elegant solution to
a difficult problem we were having. I was amazed by how simple, yet
effective his solution was.
–Doug Gursha, Founder &
CPO
Worked with Serokell on several projects in Haskell
Built a full history manager with command autocompletion for Ariadne
Added custom ADTs to the Cardano Settlement Layer to improve error encoding
I would recommend working with Mitchell, especially for a project in
Haskell. We have already expressed interest in working with him again
someday, and hope to do so in the near future!

Seroka, CEO
Introduced a machine learning pipeline at Edible to automatically label restaurant menu items based on diets they fit (vegetarian, dairy-free, etc.), which more than doubled data ingestion workflow speed
Reduced app overhead by 100,000+ requests per month with Bloom filter
Mitchell created services at Edible that helped predict food item
attributes through Machine Learning. He actively taught our team better
practices which we implemented for a more scalable and maintainable ML
pipeline. It was a delight working with him.
–Michael
Copley, CEO
Built a home medical self-care app for Armor Health on a deadline, using Elm and Haskell (Yesod) to eliminate runtime errors in the full stack
Interned at BookBub, building web components with React and Ruby on Rails, where authors and publishers could interact
In school, researched prostate cancer genomics using multi-gigabyte lncRNA data, using R, Bowtie, TopHat, and Bash for large dataset analysis on Flux HPC cluster
In school, I was the president of Michigan Hackers, which helps people learn the coding skills they need to make what they want to make
Our team was able to get the highest weekly Hack Night attendance to date, some with over 70 attendees
Mitchell volunteered to be my mentor in Web Development through the
Michigan Hackers student group. As a newbie to the field, I was afraid
the learning curve would be too much for me to handle. However, through
Mitchell’s immeasurable patience, ability to explain concepts clearly,
and foresight to set goals/deadlines, I came out of the program much
more knowledgable, with a working app I was proud of.
