Michael Ashley is a founder and polyglot software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable web and mobile products that blend elegant design with robust engineering. He leads cross-functional teams to translate multi-year growth strategies into measurable digital roadmaps, leveraging TypeScript, React/React Native, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure). A former creative turned engineer, he uniquely bridges product, UX research, and technical execution—often prototyping ML-driven personalization when data is sparse. He has introduced agile practices and analytics-driven decision making at both startups and Fortune 100 clients, driving automation and process improvements that scale. Based in Cincinnati, he prioritizes continual learning and relationship-building, and balances technical depth with a storyteller’s eye for product experience.
