Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Ihbe is a hands-on engineering leader with 15 years building and scaling consumer and infrastructure software, currently directing engineering at Sentry in San Francisco. He blends deep full-stack coding fluency—Golang, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Java—with product and operational leadership from founding startups like Fireside to driving engineering at Lyric and Lovable Technology. Mike repeatedly ships high-impact systems (from a live audio/video studio and real-time transcription at Fireside to object storage integrations for Oracle’s Terraform provider) while also improving organizational processes and SDLCs. He thrives on learning complex systems and translating that understanding into hires, metrics-driven decisions, and measurable business outcomes (e.g., revenue uplifts and rapid funding growth). An active open-source contributor, his work touches notable projects such as Sentry and Twirp, reflecting a mix of backend engineering and interoperability focus. Colleagues rely on him to reduce risk, mentor teams, and still be the person who will jump into the code when it matters.
