Summary
Michael Evans is a Growth Engineer and full-stack developer based in Berlin with 10 years of experience building and optimizing B2B and consumer SaaS products. He ships end-to-end systems using Ruby on Rails, Node, React and TypeScript, and has repeatedly improved product metrics—turning multi-second page loads into ~1s experiences and lifting Core Web Vitals dramatically. Michael has worked across startups and scale-ups (Deliveroo, holoride, Opinary) and as a solo freelancer, owning architecture, infrastructure (Vercel, Heroku, AWS, Terraform) and CI pipelines. He combines conversion and activation mindset from earlier growth roles with deep engineering craft, architecting subscription and account systems and complex data migrations. Notably, he often joins teams to tackle the hardest edges—performance bottlenecks, large-scale DB migrations, and cross-language integrations (Elixir <> Ruby <> JS). With a BSc in Mathematics, he pairs analytical rigor with practical execution to move products from prototype to production.
