Bio
Gabriel Torres
Mike is one of my favorite engineering managers to work with. He can appreciate a problem from all perspectives and uses both his technical skills and management experience to decide on the best course of action. As a client, he is very understanding of technical roadblocks and is always willing to collaborate with the team in order to overcome them. He is an excellent product manager and every project he works on is better off because of him. I hope I get to continue working with Mike in the future.

When working with Michael, it never feels as if he is a client, but a part of our team, with the intent to make the best product possible. He is always removing road blocks and enabling technology creation to be at its best, while passing credit to all of those around him. With all of the buy-in and cooperation he earns with all parties involved in a project, the products he creates are the best in their class. It is truly a pleasure doing projects with Michael, and I am eager to have the privilege to do so again.
