Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMichael Ferris is a technical product manager and builder with 11 years of experience shipping AI-native products end-to-end from the San Francisco Bay Area. He blends hands-on coding and product strategy—moving ideas from ideation to production across startups, consulting, and enterprise teams at companies like Storj, ID.me, BlackLine, and Deloitte. As a former co‑founder he has built cloud-hosted tooling and automated workflows that turned manual services into scalable SaaS offerings, and at Deloitte led automation efforts that increased throughput tenfold. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, he pairs quantitative training in economics and mathematics with a practical knack for distilling complex data into actionable products. A technical PM who still ships code, he thrives at the intersection of product strategy, data-driven decision making, and operational execution.
