Hello, I'm Michael.

VP of Product & Engineering, making complex tech feel simple. At Getaround, I scaled our team from 20 to 60 while keeping car‑sharing a three‑tap task.

I work where code meets company strategy. Every product has its own physics, so I learn the rules quickly, reshape them, and ship value faster.

Roadmap debates, company‑wide strategy sessions, database schemas, launch timelines: each decision serves one purpose, move the business forward.

What matters most

  • People first: a tight crew beats any framework.
  • Users always: every byte should erase friction.
  • Results that show: technology counts only when the numbers move.

When the laptop closes, I’m a Lego architect and bedtime‑story voice actor for my favorite co‑founder, my son.

Onward.
