Top SchoolMichael Fisher is an owner and hands-on software engineer with 15 years of experience blending audio engineering, full-stack development, and product work for music technology. Starting from a background in audio and telecommunications, he pivoted from sales and live sound into software—contributing to notable open-source audio projects like Ardour and Kushview's Element, where he improved LV2 plugin handling and audio-host UI/feature work.
