Michael brings over 15 years of technical recruiting experience, with a career largely focused on backend and infrastructure engineering—from ICs to Director-level hires.

Prior to joining CoCreate, Michael was part of the early days of SRE recruiting at Google before supporting the production engineering teams at Meta. He ran SRE and cloud recruiting at Airbnb, where he built out the entire infrastructure recruiting process from scratch and helped grow the team 2x prior to their IPO. Most recently, he served as a consultant with Spruce Talent, building ML teams at the Arc Institute and product and security engineering teams at HealthSherpa.

He specializes in infrastructure and platform engineering hiring and approaches every search with a problem-solving, can-do mindset. Outside of work, Michael enjoys playing with his cats, home improvement and gardening projects with his wife, and playing golf.
