About Michael Cox

I build products and the teams that ship them.Over two decades, I\'ve helped dozens of software applications go from zero to one - sometimes as the engineer writing code, sometimes as the leader building teams, often as both. I\'ve worked with early-stage startups and fast-growing companies, always focused on getting products shipped. Now I\'m building AI-powered valuation tools at Vardera.
