Mike Dillion is a Lead Data Engineer with 13 years of experience building and leading data platforms, primarily in financial services and AI startups. He has a track record of scaling data teams and infrastructure from founding-engineer roles to lead positions at companies like Bread Financial, Extra Card, Noetica AI, and his current stealth venture in New York. Comfortable across the data lifecycle, he blends hands-on engineering (ETL, pipelines, infrastructure) with people leadership and product-focused delivery. Mike often joins organizations early to shape architecture and operationalize analytics at scale, turning ambiguous data needs into reliable, auditable systems. His background spans software, DevOps, and data roles, which gives him an uncommon ability to bridge engineering, infrastructure, and business stakeholders. Based in NYC, he pairs pragmatic execution with startup experience that repeatedly accelerates time-to-value for data initiatives.
