Top SchoolMichael Pak is a fintech-focused software engineer and founder with a decade of experience building secure payment systems, blockchain-backed marketplaces, and scalable infrastructure. As Co-Founder & CEO of a stealth startup and a former PayPal engineer, he has modernized payment platforms for hundreds of apps, cut logging costs through targeted filtering, and introduced observability and CI/CD practices across Node.js and Java stacks. His background blends technical product delivery (from iOS ridesharing apps to serverless energy systems) with regulatory and securities experience—having authored a whitepaper that helped raise $15M and navigated 506B/506C compliance. Comfortable at the intersection of engineering, business, and law, he leverages a Berkeley business and legal studies education to turn complex compliance and crypto requirements into auditable, production-ready systems.
