Top SchoolMike Gillett is a software engineer and startup founder with 11 years of experience building full-stack systems and orchestration for product teams, currently a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI and founder/CTO of Convogo. A Brown CS graduate who focused on AI and systems, he has shipped production features at LiveRamp across activations and led teams as a staff tech lead while also bootstrapping consumer products. His early work includes self-driving car interaction research, a robotic bartender capstone that mixes 16 ingredients, and a high-school virtual chemistry lab that won national recognition—signals of a maker mindset that spans hardware, ML, and web. He co-founded µByte and repeatedly moved ideas to users quickly (Convogo’s MVP in two weeks, 200+ weekly users later), blending product intuition with execution. Comfortable across AWS-backed infrastructure, frontend experiences, and integrations, he has a track record of turning prototypes into user-facing systems. Based in San Francisco, he balances technical leadership with outdoor pursuits like rock climbing and paddle boarding, which he credits for sustaining long-term creative energy.
