Hi, I'm Mike Lautensack

Full-Stack
Web Developer

I build robust, production-grade web applications with TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

About Me

Product-minded full-stack engineer.

I'm a full-stack web developer who builds robust, production-grade web applications with TypeScript, React, and Next.js. My work spans the entire stack — from payment integrations and server-side rendering to reusable component libraries.

Recent highlights include integrating a payment processor into a production e-commerce webshop and leading its migration to TypeScript and React Server Components. I've also delivered production web applications for a range of clients through several years of contract work.

What sets me apart is a blend of engineering depth and business sense shaped by prior entrepreneurial experience, which helps me build solutions that genuinely fit real-world needs — particularly SaaS products for small businesses. That same mindset drives my own product, Estimate Generator: a field service management platform I designed and built for contractors, complete with a REST API, PostgreSQL, secure authentication, and Stripe subscription billing.
