Top SchoolMichael Asher is a founder and data-driven software leader with 11 years building AgTech and urban planning products that blend machine learning, GIS and scalable cloud services. He co-founded Precipitation Inc. and Giraffe Technology, where he leads teams that turn remote sensing, 3D mapping and real-time metrics into practical tools for growers and city makers. His background includes a PhD in computational mathematics focused on surrogate models for groundwater and multi-fidelity approaches, and hands-on ML/product work at Granular and FarmLogs shipping crop-growth models and satellite-driven analytics. Comfortable from research-grade C++ and Python algorithms to deployable web dashboards and cloud infrastructure, he mixes academic rigor with startup velocity. An understated strength is translating complex environmental models into simple UX and operational products that influence policy and on-the-ground decisions.
