Hello
I'm Michael Uloth, an opera singer, web developer and creator of Up and Running Tutorials.
As an opera singer, I've been lucky enough to perform with wonderful companies and orchestras across Canada, the United States and Europe, including the Canadian Opera Company, Seattle Opera, the Glimmerglass Festival, and Opéra de Lyon. You can hear examples of my singing on SoundCloud, YouTube and Vimeo and read about my journey here, here and here.
Since teaching myself to code, I've spent four years building 35+ client sites and guiding them to production. I specialize in building fast-loading sites with React and Gatsby, but always enjoy learning new technologies as well. In addition to designing and building my own projects, I'm the lead front-end developer at Coffeeshop Creative and the creator of Up & Running Tutorials.
