Mitchell Sawatzky

ABOUT

I am Mitchell Sawatzky, a Software Engineering graduate from the Schulich School of Engineering at the Univeristy of Calgary. Among other things, I love programming, sleeping, and long walks in the park.

I write consistent, clean code that conforms to best practices and standards. Great user experiences, maintainability, and reusability are what I like to work on.
