Top SchoolMichael Cousins is a Senior Software Engineer in New York with 13 years of hands-on experience building hardware-integrated software and full-stack systems across robotics, lab automation, and IoT. He has led fleet and senior engineering teams at Viam and now ships product at Abridge, pairing low-level firmware and PCB work with cloud and frontend engineering. An active open-source contributor, he’s added board-rendering fixtures and Gerber/stackup integrations to the popular Tracespace project and improved browser test reliability in legacy JS tooling. Comfortable moving between C firmware, Scala backend services, and modern web stacks, he’s known for shipping pragmatic, production-ready solutions and for prototyping hardware-software products end-to-end. He’s typically over-caffeinated and brings a maker’s instinct from co-founding a hardware design shop to large-scale product engineering.
