Michael Mitrakos is a founder and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building full-stack products, leading teams, and shipping machine learning-infused video platforms that serve millions of users. As CEO of Higglo Digital he now blends AI-first growth strategy with hands-on engineering to help brands become the default answer across generative AI assistants, while previously leading payments and frontend migrations at Italic and launching scalable live-streaming and analytics tooling at LivelyVideo. He founded a software consultancy that delivered products for Auth0, Hulu and philanthropic projects, teaches JavaScript and data structures to a community of 50,000+ engineers via initjs.org, and mentors through nonprofit tech leadership at Civility International. Comfortable moving between product, data pipelines, ML (BigQuery, TensorFlow) and React/Node stacks, he combines strategic go-to-market thinking with deep technical execution—and logs his downtime playing ice hockey, CrossFit, or exploring new countries.
