Michael Rowehl is a veteran DevOps engineer and serial founder with 15 years of experience taking early-stage products from prototype to production and exit. He combines deep hands-on expertise in deployment pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and HIPAA-compliant operations with a knack for shipping first-version products quickly to validate market assumptions. As co-founder of Glystn and previous CTO roles, he built and scaled engineering teams, implemented LLM-driven features, and prototyped vector search and RAG systems powering advertiser tools. His background includes operationalizing Spinnaker and large-scale claims integrations, and he has repeatedly delivered zero-downtime client launches by designing realistic test harnesses tied to live networks. Based in Visalia, CA and self-styled a "17th level Hacker," he brings entrepreneurial grit, pragmatic engineering, and a track record of turning complex systems into reliable, production-ready services.
