My name is Bernie Michalik. I am a consulting IT architect currently working for IBM in Toronto. A full listing of my skills, my professional roles, endorsements, and more, can be found on LinkedIn. I update and monitor my LinkedIn account regularly.

Professionally, if you need to reach me you can go on to LinkedIn and send me a message. I'll be happy to help you.

As for my personal background, I grew up in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, went to university at Dalhousie in Halifax, then moved to Toronto to start a career at IBM.

Besides LinkedIn, I am on Threads and Instagram. Sometime on Bluesky and less and less on Twitter.

I've written for a number of publications, including the 99u, Amex, IBM developerworks, and IBM Redbooks.

I also maintain a blog called smart people I know.
