Don DuChateau II

UI Design Engineer Sr.

You may know me as duck@umich, with over 25 years of experience in IT at Michigan Ross, I specialize in designing, developing, and maintaining innovative web technologies with a focus on user experience and accessibility. My work encompasses a wide range of projects, including websites, user interfaces, content management systems, search engine applications, and information kiosks. In recent years, I’ve expanded my focus to include generative AI, exploring its potential to enhance user experiences, streamline development workflows, and drive creative problem-solving in digital environments.

Outside of work, I’m an avid explorer and hands-on creator. I enjoy hiking, camping, off-roading/overlanding, motorcycling, working on my classic car, home automation, and experimenting with my home computing lab. A lifelong autodidact, I’m always learning—whether diving into new technologies like AI or discovering new ways to better understand the world around us.
