About me

Hey, I’m Mike!

I was the first product manager at Firebase, and a long time PM on Google Cloud Platform, specifically on serverless compute (App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run). I left Google in July 2019, and took some time off to teach a course on product management at Rose-Hulman. Since then, I’ve worked on EDI technology at Stedi, Codespaces and Copilot at GitHub, and most recently, built a GPU cloud platform at Crusoe. I also run a consulting and micro-import business called Merge Conflict.

Before Firebase, I worked at The Omni Group building iOS apps, Texas Instruments working on embedded microcontrollers (specifically the MSP430), and a few other places, mostly doing embedded software/hardware.

Outside of work:

I’m a lover of interesting beverages, both of the alcoholic (whisky) and non-alcoholic (coffee) variety
I travel as often as I can (though post COVID, this has decreased substantially)
I get outdoors to bike, snowboard, or scuba dive
If it’s got wheels or wings, I’m in

If you find yourself in Austin, reach out and let’s grab a beverage!
