Michael Hamilton
Engineering leader who ships.
Coordinated 25 engineers across 4 teams. Reduced deployment cadence by 84x. Took a product from side project to GA in under a year. 20-year Marine Corps veteran who leads with clarity and delivers under pressure.
What I Bring to the Table
0-to-1 and Beyond
Took Autojuris from side project to GA on the Microsoft Marketplace in under a year. 3 products shipped from zero to production.
AI in Production
3 law firm design partners validating AI document intelligence workflows. 150 users on Marine Tactical Trainer with Corps-wide evaluation underway. I build AI products that are production-ready, not demo-ready.
Teams That Ship
Coordinated 25 engineers across 4 teams. Filled 15+ roles in 12 months. Built hiring pipelines and interview processes from scratch. Led 200+ personnel in Marine Corps operations.
Still an Engineer
Active side projects with real users: Marine Tactical Trainer (150 users), Rock Recipes (~100 users). I stay hands-on in TypeScript/React, Python, and cloud-native architectures. Leadership doesn't mean leaving the codebase behind.
