Top SchoolMichael Schwab is a seasoned director and Ruby/Rails specialist with 18 years of experience building and maintaining web platforms for startups, media, e-commerce and niche communities. Based in New York, he has led full-stack development and consulting engagements—from architecting the initial platform at Quirky and running Rails services at Bloomberg to optimizing KnowYourMeme’s site for growth and moderation. He combines hands-on engineering with product-minded thinking, shipping revenue-focused features, subscription/e‑commerce systems, and tools that enabled community scaling. An Apple technology expert for small businesses, he also experiments with web apps to publish and iterate creative projects, having built a custom platform to sell and version a book about Magic cards. Outside of work he researches music and writes non-fiction, reflecting a curiosity that often surfaces as instructional coding vlogs and practical Ruby lessons.
