Founder & CEO at Dumb Phone
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Tigas is a Melbourne-based founder and independent mobile app developer with 11 years of experience building consumer-focused iOS and Android products that drive habit change and productivity. As the CEO of Dumb Phone and a long-time freelance developer, he combines design, product strategy, and hands-on engineering to help startups and small businesses launch apps that grow from zero to hundreds of thousands of users. He’s comfortable leading full app lifecycles—Android, iOS, Rails APIs and front-end work—drawing on past roles from engineering leads to IT support. Michael favors pragmatic, user-centered solutions that remove friction (and in Dumb Phone’s case, addictive features) rather than piling on complexity. He enjoys working alongside energetic founders and sharing hard-learned lessons to increase the odds of success for early-stage products.
