Summary
Mike Angell is a founder and seasoned ecommerce engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance storefronts and social commerce products from Brisbane. He has a track record of turning merchant pain points into products—shipping a Golang-based, in-memory renderer that cut load times from seconds to hundredths, and co-founding Vop to make TikTok content directly shoppable on Shopify stores. Previously he prototyped checkout improvements at Fast and led technical strategy and tooling for Shopify Plus merchants, blending hands-on systems engineering with product-led growth. Mike’s background spans hands-on platform migrations and pioneering social commerce long before it went mainstream, giving him a rare mix of startup grit, ops experience, and deep ecommerce technical expertise.
