Anthony Ian Michaelson

Senior Software Architect & Technical Founder

Anthony is a senior software architect and technical founder with more than twenty years of turning AI, automation, and distributed systems into measurable business outcomes — ML systems tied to $27M in new revenue, automation managing 100K+ devices, and decentralized economic protocols spanning a fully audited stablecoin and a token-mediated barter economy. His career began as a U.S. Army Warrant Officer, earning a Bronze Star deploying tactical communications across Afghanistan under combat conditions. Since then he has led engineering at every scale — from founding and architecting startups solo to Fortune 500 enterprise AI deployments — pairing rare depth in economic mechanism design with executive judgment on the decisions that move revenue, margin, and reliability.
