# Michael Michalak

Michael Michalak is a backend developer, Fractional CTO, and AI consultant with 13+ years of experience in Drupal architecture, Drupal Commerce, and AI agent development.



I build and stabilize the backends that businesses depend on. For 13+ years
that has meant Drupal architecture and Drupal Commerce for e-commerce
platforms, universities, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits — and more
recently, production AI agents built with LangChain, Langfuse, and CrewAI.

I work with startups and small-to-medium businesses in two ways: hands-on as a
backend developer on complex Drupal and commerce builds, and as a Fractional
CTO providing technology strategy, architecture planning, and technical
leadership without the cost of a full-time executive.
