I'm Michael Bowen, a programmer with an interest in back-end social services and DevOps. I really enjoy connecting people around video games, whether competitively or causally. My favorite games are Apex Legends, RDR2, and most driving games. I really like simple mechanics that are difficult to master. This also applies to my interests outside of games, such as snowboarding and rock climbing.
