Mike Griffith is a seasoned full stack developer and engineering leader with 16 years of experience building cloud-native, cross-platform products that blend thoughtful design with robust architecture. Currently a Staff Engineer at Stripe, he has held progressive technical and management roles at BoxCast—rising from VP of UX to Director of Engineering and staff engineering positions—where he shipped hardware+software streaming products. He specializes in scalable web and mobile systems, data visualization, video streaming, security, and developer-centric testing and workflows, and enjoys working in small, lean teams that iterate quickly. An active open-source contributor, he’s improved the widely used Clappr web media player by enhancing audio-only playback, custom media controls, and adding tests to harden behavior. Based in Tallmadge, Ohio, Mike pairs hands-on implementation with coaching and process refinement to raise team velocity. He’s as comfortable sketching UX solutions as he is architecting backend services, which makes him a pragmatic bridge between design and engineering.
