M Bianchi is a Staff Software Engineer with a decade of experience building application-level features and operational tooling across startups and scale-ups in the United States. Currently at Freshpaint after roles at FireHydrant, OppFi/OppLoans, and Auth0, they blend hands-on full-stack development with DevOps-minded reliability and have stepped into interim engineering management when teams needed leadership.

Academically grounded in economics and Asian studies with study at Waseda, they bring a broader systems perspective and cross-cultural curiosity to product decisions. An advocate for open-source and personal code ownership, M has migrated their active projects to Codeberg, signaling a thoughtful approach to long-term hosting and community.
