My name is Michael Arnold; currently I work in Palo Alto, California as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon Web Services. I am a part of the Aurora MySQL team, mostly focusing on platform and infrastructure development.
I am a lifelong learner and am in love with the pursuit of personal growth. In my free time, you're likely to find me engaged in one of my hobbies, or working on some personal coding projects. Code reflects life, so I often try to codify various components of my own life.
