Summary
Michael Parlato is a founding engineer and product-focused leader with 10 years of experience building full-stack, vertically integrated systems for early-stage startups in the Bay Area. He led engineering and product at Local Kitchens, helping design the suite of applications and services that powered the business, and now serves as a founding engineer at Vooma. His background blends software engineering, electrical engineering, and medtech—evident from a Johns Hopkins MSE and a co-founded therapeutic startup—so he often bridges hardware-adjacent data problems and cloud-native product delivery. Comfortable across Rails, Python, and AWS, he has a track record of shipping interoperability and data-heavy systems in complex domains like healthcare. Pragmatic and entrepreneurial, he pairs hands-on coding with fundraising, regulatory, and commercialization experience that makes him effective at turning early ideas into operational platforms.
