About Me

Photo of Mike Uttech

I love technology and I love using technology to solve problems. I take pride in understanding business cases and providing the best solution for the given problem, while keeping a high-level view of how everything "fits" together.

My background in application development allows me to architect cloud solutions that are feasible to implement from a technology, budget, and timeline perspective. Whether you need someone for a few hours or a few years, I'd love to connect and figure out if I'm a fit to help you migrate an existing solution to the cloud or architect a new one.

I've built and deployed solutions to both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, as well as developed proof-of-concept projects on Google Cloud Platform.

I am currently located in the Northwest suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul and am primarily interested in contract positions. While the Twin Cities area is preferred, I am available for contracts nationwide on a remote, traveling, or combination of both basis.
