Hi! It's great to meet you. I'm Micah. I build technology and teams to help humans create a better world.
At work, I'm building the modern benefit for frontline workers at Ezra. Prior to that, I looked after platform-wide safety product for Android, so your phone is there when you need it most. I've led product and technical teams at Google.org, and I started my career working on Google Search ranking. I also teach graduate engineering seminars on product management at Columbia University.
I can't resist a good adventure. I wrote my first webpage on a trip to visit my grandparents when I was 7. I deferred college admission for a year to run a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in rural Mississippi. I learned as much from my peers at Pomona as I did in class.
I believe that success in life, as in building things, is sweating in equal measure the big picture and the details, as much about what you do as how you do it. When I'm not making something, I love organizing wilderness adventures, dabbling in endurance sports, vaguely-planned international travel (tools I've built are at wrld.li), flying airplanes, building community, simplifying finance, and soaking in hot water. My aim is to leave this place just a little bit better than I found it.
How about you?
