Hi, my name is

Miguel Acosta

I solve systems problems with software.

I’m a software engineer who enjoys building resilient products at the intersection of hardware and software. From SwiftUI apps to geospatial web platforms, I create experiences that feel effortless and deliver measurable value.

About

Based in Philadelphia, I’m a curious builder who transitioned from electrical engineering into software so I could move ideas from concept to launch. I love working on tight-knit teams, pairing user research with rapid prototyping, and pushing pixels until an interface just feels right.

These days I’m designing and coding human-centered products, mentoring cross-functional teammates, and exploring how AI can improve workflows without sacrificing craft.

Technologies I’ve touched recently include:

  • SwiftUI
  • TypeScript
  • React & Angular
  • Node.js
  • Python
  • MATLAB
