Hi, my name is

Miguel Acosta

Software Engineer

I’m a developer passionate about crafting fast, accessible, and thoughtfully designed mobile and web experiences. My work spans iOS apps, BLE-integrated tools, and full-stack web platforms — all built with a focus on usability, performance, and clean, elegant code. I thrive at the intersection of design and engineering, where I bring ideas to life through intuitive, high-quality software. Outside of tech, you’ll find me running, playing soccer, and reading books.

About

I’m a software engineer with a background in electrical engineering, drawn to building tools that feel fast, reliable, and purposeful. My journey started in systems and hardware, but I moved into software to have more ownership — from shaping product ideas to shipping polished experiences.

I now build mobile apps, and full-stack platforms with a focus on elegant code and real-world impact. I’m especially interested in environments where engineering excellence, autonomy, and curiosity are valued.

Technology I am most familar with:

  • Swift / SwiftUI
  • Linux / Bash
  • Java / Spring Boot
  • MongoDB
  • Python
  • Firebase
  • JavaScript / TypeScript
  • Docker
  • React / Next.js
  • Kubernetes

Experience

Software Engineer · Lockheed Martin

Aug 2025 – Present · King of Prussia, PA

I contribute to simulation systems built with Java, Python, React, and Bash deployed with Helm and Kubernetes. Working within an Agile Kanban team, I partner across disciplines to deliver scalable features and dependable distributed services.

  • Build and maintain frontend and backend components.
  • Configure ActiveMQ and ZooKeeper to streamline messaging and service coordination.
  • Support containerized deployments and automation workflows with Jenkins-driven CI/CD.
  • Apply unit testing (JUnit) plus peer reviews to ensure robustness across environments.
  • Leverage GitLab and Collaborator for branching strategies, code reviews, and CI pipelines.
  • Participate in daily scrums, retrospectives, and estimation to keep delivery on track.
