Summary
👤
SeniorMichael Continues is a software engineer, leader, and serial founder with 10 years of experience building scalable AI, serverless, and web platforms from startup to enterprise. He’s led and mentored large engineering teams at MongoDB while driving company-wide generative AI initiatives, and now provides technical leadership for Instagram parental controls at Meta. As founder of BrowserCat and SiteArcade he launched high-performance serverless/edge architectures—achieving <50ms cold starts and persistent websockets—and built products that cut developer costs and time-to-market. He blends engineering, product, and creative interests (games, art, music), and has a track record of turning research and ML into production features that measurably improve user and business outcomes. An uncommon detail: he pairs developer-experience tooling with pragmatic compliance and security workflows, so novel AI projects ship fast without creating audit or data risks.
