VoyaTek Platform

Product Architecture · AI Supported Workflows · UI/UX Design · Technical Leadership

Led the client architecture, development, and technical direction of a shared enterprise platform supporting three large-scale applications: Core (EBT), Vendor, and Clinic. Collectively, these applications encompassed a large number of interfaces and complex operational workflows, including benefits administration, vendor authorization, scheduling, compliance, transaction processing, reporting, and system management.

Noah AI-orchestrated software development platform

Noah — AI-Orchestrated SDLC Platform

Agent Orchestration · Architecture · Development Automation & Governance

An AI-orchestrated software development lifecycle platform, currently in development. It is designed to transform work items into production-ready software through specification-driven development, automated implementation, quality assurance, and AI-powered code review, with human approval gates and engineering standards carried through planning to deployment.

The A-One Prototype

This 2018 prototype was ahead of its time and inspired by DeepMind's AlphaZero. It was a small AI and machine-learning experiment applied to chess, accompanied by a custom hand-coded browser-based 3D interface and allowed for real-time play against the local model and other players.

Atlas Logistics Operations Management System

Atlas Logistics System

A large, multi-year Logistics Operations Management System for a global enterprise—supporting sourcing, storage, equipment, drivers, and delivery operations around the world. The client interface remains confidential.

Hoopla

A complete rewrite helping public libraries make movies, television, music, and eBooks instantly available to their communities.

MixDash

A highly customizable enterprise security dashboard system, developed under the project code name MixDash. An agency has used it to acquire three large new clients in the space, and continues to add more.

ESPN

ESPN has relied on me to simplify and streamline a number of complex projects over the years. From left to right: SportsFigures, which taught students mathematics through the application of sports; Remote Traffic, for managing satellite logistics; the ESPN Event Calendar media management system; and the X Games platform, including its scoring system.

AquaTREND

Originally built years ago as an experimental playground for diverse technologies, AquaTREND has evolved into a highly successful, autonomous quantitative financial system. It is engineered to spot the early stages of significant market movements while maintaining strict risk management—offering a fascinating approach to one of the world's most complex puzzles.

Loop

Derived from Trend, this animated, real-time visualization groups market leaders by sector, dynamically pulling top-performing assets into a central ring to show what the automated system detects. In practice I really just check the evening report on my phone to make sure the train is still on the track. As illustrated, the third-generation core strategy has outperformed both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices since its inception on January 2, 2026.

Cywise — Enterprise Software Consulting

Full-Stack Engineering · Enterprise Architecture · Technical Consulting

Selected engagements through 2024

Through Cywise, delivered software engineering and technical consulting services for enterprise clients across industrial operations, digital media, financial services, and insurance. Engagements included long-term contract and subcontract arrangements focused on application architecture, hands-on development, system integration, and delivery of business-critical software.

AI-generated design concept for the Noah Link operational interface

Noah Link — Geospatial Operations Platform

3D Geospatial Visualization · Satellite Operations · Mission Planning

Noah Link is an independently developed geospatial platform exploring the integration of satellite tracking, ground infrastructure, and mission-oriented spatial data within a unified operational interface.

Built around a React frontend, Python backend, and PostgreSQL database, the platform is being developed through a series of hands-on geospatial experiments using CesiumJS, real satellite orbital data, and interactive 3D mapping technologies.

The current work establishes the technical foundation for time-dependent geospatial visualization, orbital analysis, multi-source data integration, and immersive spatial interaction. Experiments span orbital, aerial, and ground-level perspectives, progressively informing the architecture, capabilities, and user experience of the envisioned platform.

Status: Active Development — Satellite data integration and orbital visualization operational. Ground operations and mission-planning capabilities remain under development.

Concept Presentation: The accompanying image is an AI-generated design concept illustrating the intended direction of Noah Link's operational interface. It is not a screenshot of the current application. The final interface and capabilities will evolve from the working geospatial experiments documented in the Lab → Explore section.

Recent work spans global enterprise organizations, public media, and early-stage ventures—each one grounded in the details that make a product work in the real world.

Experimental

A place for curiosity.

The Lab is for exploration, learning, and discovery. Shown on the right is the original A-One, a live 3D chess world built from the ground up to test the limits of new technologies and ideas in AI. Presented here is the Amber Board, a digital recreation of the King Charles amber chessboard.

It is inspired by the idea that challenging games can be powerful benchmarks on the path toward versatile algorithms with applications beyond the board. Experimental AquaTREND derived from this system. It also provides something to show as many real world systems are confidential.

About

Traditional experience, applied to an AI future.

I'm Michael Szubka. Years spent building traditional software taught me where delivery slows down: unclear requirements, repeated implementation work, fragile handoffs, and teams carrying too much context in their heads. I now use that experience to help companies modernize how they build and operate software.

AI is changing the development lifecycle. It can accelerate research, planning, implementation, testing, documentation, and operations. I help teams introduce practical AI workflows and agent capabilities where they remove real friction, while people retain the direction, judgement, and ownership that software still requires.

The opportunity is not to remove people from development. It is to give the people who understand the business, the customer, and the problem more leverage to deliver better work.
