Senior🎓
Top SchoolMike Speriosu is a PhD-trained full-stack software engineer with 16 years of experience building data-driven products and a 12+ year track record of leveraging AI and NLP in production. He has led engineering efforts at startups and scale-ups—most recently as a lead and senior engineer at Ejenta and now at ClassPass—bridging research-grade language technology with product-focused delivery. His background in computational linguistics and early research at Stanford and UT Austin informs a pragmatic approach to features like search, topic segmentation, and sentiment-driven tooling. Comfortable across the stack, he combines rigorous experimentation and metrics with hands-on implementation to move prototypes into reliable systems. Based in Castro Valley, CA, he brings a researcher’s attention to language and statistical models to everyday product decisions, often surfacing non-obvious signals from conversational and social data.
