Michael Savage. Former web developer and deputy sheriff, practicing bag guy. I run Lynx Defense — American-made sewn goods for the firearms, military, and outdoor industry. This site is still my resume — and where I mess around to keep the web skills alive.
Side projects · drag them around — they snap back
3D printed drone project. Printed, wired, and flown — a different kind of build plate.
Software that runs the Lynx Defense floor — cut lists, batches, and stitch counts. The web dev skills weren't wasted after all.
Manages product send-outs and content creation — who got what, and what got made about it.
Founder. We design and sew range bags, cases, and gear in North Carolina — American materials, American labor. Started as a side project; now it's the whole job. lynxdefense.com ↗
Detective, eleven years. Worked Criminal Investigations and Patrol, mostly digital evidence — pulling data off phones and writing search warrants for devices and online services.
My first company. Built it from zero to 30-some active clients doing WordPress sites, and shepherded two iPhone apps from idea to the App Store.
Helped plan and ship several full redesigns of the university's sites, and built a job-posting system into their CMS.
