Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Eden is an embedded software engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, statically-minded systems and improving deployment and packaging practices. Currently at Vital Bio in Cambridge, he pairs embedded firmware work with a strong interest in Open Source and verifiable guarantees in code. His background spans site reliability at Klaviyo, embedded roles at Tulip and Facebook, and a stint as a technical consultant at McKinsey, giving him both operational rigor and product-focused engineering instincts. He’s contributed to notable OSS projects including Bitcore (bitcoin full-stack) and the Rust websocket library, often refactoring core APIs and introducing async/await patterns for safer, clearer back-end behavior. Michael prefers projects that view problems holistically—where social good and human factors matter as much as the technical solution.
