Michael Hamilton

Verisma Systems, Inc.

• • Lead technical execution for enterprise healthcare application development, building and mentoring high-performing engineering teams while staying hands-on in architecture, code, and reviews.
• • Operationalize an AI-native engineering model in a regulated (HIPAA) environment: AI-assisted specification, test generation, implementation, and code review as default practice, with human intent, judgment, and approval in the loop.
• • Own cloud-first architecture on Azure across C#/.NET, React/TypeScript, and SQL Server, with CI/CD, automated testing, and security scanning that hold AI-generated artifacts to enterprise standards.
• • Champion agent-based development workflows (Claude Code, AI-assisted code review) and lead architecture and specification reviews focused on decision quality over task throughput.
• • Own release cadence — branching, feature flags, CAB, and delivery across environments — driving predictable delivery through flow and quality metrics.

Autojuris AI, Inc.

• • AI-powered legal workflow platform. Iris shipped to GA on the Microsoft Marketplace. Bootstrapped 7-person team. 3 enterprise law firm design partners.
• • Built production AI evaluation infrastructure (DSPy with GEPA optimizer, F1 lifted from 40% to 75% in one week).
• • Multi-tenant API platform on Cloudflare with full observability and audit logging.

PreAct Technologies

• • Stepped into CEO role to execute orderly wind-down of 25-person LiDAR and edge-AI company.
• • Maintained production system continuity for the company's largest customer through final delivery; preserved IP for downstream licensing.

PreAct Technologies

• • Led 25-person engineering organization across 4 functional teams. Production embedded AI on edge hardware for a real-time rear obstacle-detection system.
• • Reduced merge-to-canary deployment time from 2 weeks to 4 hours (84x improvement).
• • Drove org-wide adoption of AI-assisted development (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) with measurable PR throughput outcomes.

PreAct Technologies

• • Player-coach driving the company's pivot to a LiDAR-based protection system. Contributed directly to embedded AI and sensor fusion code while introducing structured engineering processes into a previously ad-hoc engineering culture.

Opsivity

• • Led 12-person geographically distributed development team building a connected knowledge base SaaS platform for field service teams.
• • Managed full product lifecycle from architecture through production deployment.
• • First leadership role managing a distributed offshore engineering team at scale.

Sigma Design

• • Built manufacturing automation and test systems for industrial clients; designed full-stack solutions that reduced manual testing time by 40%.

Polaris

• • Built and maintained production line software for powersports vehicle manufacturing systems.

RealWear

• • Developed Android applications for industrial AR wearables used in manufacturing and field service environments.

nLIGHT

• • Built test automation and data analytics tools for high-power laser manufacturing; delivered production monitoring dashboards used daily by engineering teams.

US Marine Corps

• • 20-year career across leadership and technical roles, culminating as a Gunnery Sergeant leading organizations of up to 200 personnel in operational and training environments.
• • Recognized for operational excellence, team development, and the ability to deliver mission-critical results under pressure.
