Mike Fotinakis

Hi! I'm Mike, an engineer, founder, and dad.

I started programming when I was 10 years old and gained a lifelong passion for building things well. I enjoy designing resilient software and infrastructure, shaping thoughtful products from the ground up, and working with smart and caring people.

After getting my Computer Science degree, I started my career as an engineer at Google, then dove into startup life. I founded Percy, which pioneered the field of visual testing and was acquired by BrowserStack in 2020. In 2023, I co-founded Ethos AI, a fintech risk management platform, and served as CTO.

Lately, I've been consulting, advising startups, and thinking about what's next.

I love spending time with my family and on hobbies like chess, gaming, cooking, and travel. In a past life, I was a classically trained singer and have performed in front of thousands.
