Hey there, I'm Misha.

I'm passionate about a thing or two. ✊🏻

I'm a mission-driven leader at the intersection of mental healthcare advocacy, product innovation, and software engineering.

Want to learn more? 🕵🏼‍♂️

Before my shift into technology, I encountered the complexities of mental health challenges firsthand– navigating severe depression, stigma, and the challenge of finding the right care for my needs– but through that journey, I found both healing and purpose, committing myself to advocating for the improvement of mental health services.

This commitment led me to a rewarding career in mental health and suicide prevention, where I’ve been interviewed for prestigious news media and feature-length documentaries, testified before Congress, took the stage at the Grammys, and summited mountains for suicide prevention fundraisers. (To this day, I continue to serve in various advisory roles.) Seeking to amplify my impact, I transitioned into software engineering and product development, where I now focus on building innovative, evidence-based solutions that expand access to quality mental healthcare.

I thrive at the intersection of mission, vision, and execution. By bridging my lived experience, advocacy, and technical expertise, I aim to build the next generation of transformative mental health solutions, driving meaningful change at scale.
