About

My name is Michael Lancaster, 32. Born and raised in Brazil but moved to the US when I was 21 to follow my goals. Currently, working as a Lead Software Engineer, Frontend at Mission Lane, living in East Costa Mesa - CA.

I’m also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, and in my spare time you can find me training Jiu-Jitsu, lifting weights, or outside exploring nature. Late quiet nights, you will find me in my home office/computer learning and building new things.

A few years ago, I built the best and most used Soundcloud desktop app Soundnode, featured on Product Hunt, TheNextWeb, Gizmodo, etc. I sometimes contribute to open-source projects on Github.

I have given a couple of talks:

• Docker FrontInBH conference (Belo Horizonte - Brazil, 2017)
• Soundnode, the journey HH JS meetup (Hamburg - Germany July 2017)
• React.js intro Chicago HTML5 meetup (May 12, 2015)
• Beyong the web with NW.js FrontInBH (Belo Horizonte - Brazil, 2014) and Chicago Web Conference (Chicago 2015)
• CSS the right way 2013
