Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Schultz is a freelance software engineer and product-minded designer with 12 years of experience helping startups move from prototype to market, most recently shaping document-to-structured-data workflows at Sensible and contributing UI-first features. Based in San Francisco, he blends front-end craftsmanship with backend work and a track record of launching customer-facing tools—he was often the second hire who helped recruit, onboard, and mentor early teams. Michael ships quickly and iterates with empathy, having built visual PDF/data extraction interfaces and early AI-assisted parsing features. He’s also an active open-source contributor (notably to the Raycast extensions ecosystem, where he improved a Figma integration with caching, grid layouts, and filtering). After a recent family-focused break he relaunched freelance work and maintains practical side projects like Hemolog.com, offering web, mobile, and AI consulting grounded in real product experience.
