Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Owens is a pragmatic software engineer with 11 years of experience building front-end and full-stack tools across startups and large product teams in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has shipped customer-facing features and internal tooling—ranging from search at Instacart to a mission-replay and 3D visualizer (Argus) at Zoox—bridging UI work in Vue/React with systems-level components in C++ and Python. Known for turning stakeholder needs into polished developer and product workflows, he’s delivered audio tooling, monitoring, and feedback flows that reduced debugging friction for perception teams. Equally comfortable iterating on product UX and implementing infrastructure automation, he brings strong cross-functional communication and mentoring experience. Outside of product work he’s driven end-to-end projects at smaller companies, demonstrating a consistent appetite for learning and pragmatic problem solving.
