Building at scale

In 2004, Mikey and his small team pioneered what is now a large and lasting pillar of Google’s global computing platform. He created Google’s first data center network fabric, which included hardware, protocols, and software. After several successful iterations (and feeling itchy to build something he could show to others), Mikey was a founding engineer on two notable consumer products: Google TV and Google Wallet.

Startup CTO

Mikey was the CTO at Button, a New York-based startup, from its seed stage through Series C. As the original “chief builder,” Mikey designed and built the technical systems and concepts which became the foundation of Button’s product, a large-scale mobile measurement and attribution platform. As the business scaled, Mikey built and led the teams that took the reins. Outside of technology, Mikey had a broad and continuous role in product design, company strategy, and company culture.

Mikey loves building things that create joy, make someone’s day better, or spark something new and possible. He believes technology should be a positive presence in our lives, and is driven by the pride that comes with building something useful and impactful.
