Michael D'agosta
Chief Architect at EARTH
United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael D'agosta is a seasoned Chief Architect with 13+ years building high-scale internet and database systems, from StumbleUpon's multi-million user scaling to leading architecture for celebration-driven platforms that sent billions of emails. He combines hands-on engineering—rewriting single-point-of-failure batch jobs into distributed fault-tolerant pipelines and cutting report times from minutes to seconds—with product-minded design and usable interfaces. Comfortable across Python, MySQL, Redis, React and cloud ops, he has repeatedly delivered pragmatic performance wins (e.g., 4x speed while growing 4x at StumbleUpon) and built core libraries that accelerate prototyping. Michael now focuses on conservation tech at EARTH, applying satellite imagery and mapping to sustainable human workflows and strategic partnerships. He’s pragmatic about tools and processes, favors simplicity and rapid iteration, and has a track record of mentoring engineers into senior roles while solving the twistiest protocol and scaling problems. An operator as much as an architect, he blends deep technical craft with mission-driven product work.
