Michael Buffington’s Summary
I've been fortunate enough to have spent over fifty-thousand hours of my life building successful and meaningful products, pushing the bounds of my abilities ever further alongside some of the most talented people in the industry. I thrive when what I'm working on benefits the lives of others, when obstacles and their solutions allow me to follow my curiosity and push beyond my comfort zone, and when I'm able to encourage the people working with me to to do the same.
