Senior🎓
Top SchoolDylan Mikus is a serial founder and engineering leader with 13 years of experience building backend systems, distributed infra, and developer-facing products from NYC. He currently leads Fixpoint and Amika as Co-Founder and CEO, building automation for AI training-data operations and an opinionated "software factory" to automate development lifecycles. His background spans production messaging, real-time analytics, WebRTC, and ML-infused education platforms, with hands-on work in Python, Go, React, streaming systems, and search relevance improvements. A CMU CS and Language Technologies alum and YC founder, he combines product-first entrepreneurship with deep systems experience and a knack for turning complex pipelines into dependable services. Less obvious: he’s repeatedly moved from core infra engineering to founding roles, signaling a pattern of shipping robust platforms and then productizing them for broader developer adoption.
