Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Fogg is a Principal Engineer with nearly two decades designing and shipping scalable backend systems and live services for mobile and browser-based games. He repeatedly builds engineering foundations from prototype to production, having led backend architecture for multiple high-download titles and launched NFT and real-time multiplayer platforms. A hands-on manager and mentor, he scales teams thoughtfully while still diving into granular code to prevent technical debt and ensure long-term maintainability. His expertise spans Go, Java, Kubernetes, Redis, and cloud infra, with practical experience batching ML inferences for ASR and running GPU-backed speech pipelines in production. Based in Beverly Hills, he combines product-focused execution with clear cross-functional communication, often translating complex systems into actionable roadmaps for both engineers and executives. Less obvious: he’s as comfortable implementing custom parsers and tooling as he is defining department-level strategy, making him a rare bridge between deep engineering craft and leadership.
