Hi there, I'm Michael, and I'm a member of the “Backend Accounts” team, so I get to help maintain a lot of systems surrounding billing, subscriptions, and reporting. I've been at Smarty long enough that I can remember when the architecture truly became a 'distributed system' (a big moment for any company). I've had the pleasure of designing and building many of our open-source libraries and tools. For me, the most rewarding aspects of working at Smarty are creating interesting systems, learning new things, and sharing what I've learned with others. I've really enjoyed seeing the company grow into what it is today!
