Michael is a seasoned leader with a rare dual perspective—an insurance adjuster turned software engineer who personally endured the long, painful claims process after surviving a wildfire. His expertise in both industries fuels his mission to modernize claims with technology that serves both adjusters and policyholders.

As an all-lines adjuster, Michael handled everything from total loss fires and tornado damage to theft and auto claims. He pivoted to software engineering, leading teams that built automation solutions for global brands, mastering scalable systems and data-driven decision-making.

The Marshall Fire changed everything. While his home survived, it was left uninhabitable, exposing him to the frustrating reality of an outdated, opaque claims process. Seeing firsthand how insurance technology had failed to evolve, he founded Adjusto to bridge the trust gap between carriers and policyholders.
