Michael Chang is a versatile technologist and teacher with over a decade of experience bridging systems engineering, security, and production-scale software for media, healthcare, and startups. He has led global pipeline and production-technology teams at DreamWorks Animation, co-founded multiple startups including a venture-backed media-tech company, and served as a Senior DevOps engineer for EHR systems—bringing rare depth in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and secure operations. Equally comfortable in the classroom and the server room, he now teaches IT and security while running a specialty food business and a self-funded security startup focused on practical, curated guidance for overworked IT staff. Known for hands-on problem solving and a willingness to do whatever it takes, he combines creative technical solutions (from P2P encrypted toolchains to AR experiences) with pragmatic trade-offs for time, budget, and teams. He also maintains active Java/JavaScript web projects and shares technical writing in Japanese, reflecting a broad, ongoing commitment to learning and public-facing craftsmanship.
