Top SchoolMihai Cernusca is a versatile software engineer and product designer with 13 years of experience building digital products from concept to launch, currently a Member of Technical Staff at Perplexity in New York. He blends front-end craftsmanship and product intuition—shaped by a BFA in Media Arts & Animation—with hands-on engineering from founding startups like re:collect, Flexhouse, and Swipe Tech. Mihai moves fluidly between shipping user-facing prototypes and scalable implementations, having held senior roles at Whereby and Visual Electric. Known as a "digital toolmaker" on GitHub, he favors pragmatic solutions that accelerate team learning and product iteration. An underappreciated thread in his career is the sustained focus on founding roles, which gives him rare empathy for early-stage tradeoffs and rapid experimentation.
