Michael Obe
Backend & Platform Engineer specializing in scalable backend systems, real-time applications, and blockchain infrastructure.
Summary
I'm a production-focused software engineer with 2+ years building across the stack — from Move smart contracts on Sui to cross-platform mobile apps and distributed backend systems.
I care most about building things that actually work at scale. Whether it's designing a subscription billing system on-chain, building a real-time attendance tracking platform for live events, or shipping a multiplayer quiz game that stays stable under load — I treat every project like it matters in production.
I've competed in international hackathons against 86+ global teams, won national and global awards, and currently lead blockchain education at SOSC SFUTMINNA — where I've helped dozens of students go from zero to deployed dApps.
