Murphy Malcolm

I'm a software, systems, & platform engineer at Prism Controls. I'm also currently studying Computer Science & Sociology at the University of Michigan.

I specialize in full-stack development, DevSecOps, and embedded systems. I've a deep passion for all of the above, but also Linux (Arch btw), networking, cybersecurity, and cats!

I'm opinionated about technology—but those opinions come from a genuine love of the game and a drive to continuously learn and improve. Always happy to connect and talk.
