# Michael Z. > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/michaelz1 My approach to software engineering is multifaceted. I value concise, performant code, but I also enjoy exercising the creativity required to formulate novel and elegant solutions to problems and challenges. I follow a formal, systematic approach when developing and testing code by applying the principles of test-driven development. I thrive in environments where teamwork is customary, but autonomy is valued. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ California ISO Jan 2023 – Present | Folsom, California, United States ### Full Stack Software Engineer @ Self-employed Jan 2016 – Jan 2023 ### System Administrator/Technician @ New Systems Telecom Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 ► Managed computer systems at regional office and maintained equipment ► Performed field work and installation of VOIP services at client locations ## Education ### Neuroscience UCLA ### Associate of General Sciences and Associate of Physical Science in Pre-Medicine/Pre-Medical Studies American River College ### Hack Reactor ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/mzarivny --- Source: https://flows.cv/michaelz1 JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/michaelz1/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
