Background

About Michael Verde

I like my work to be meaningful and impactful. In particular, I am passionate about applying technological solutions to address social challenges. And I enjoy this work most when the contributions I make directly impact the shape and direction that a product takes. I have found this most often in my work at start-ups and small companies. I got started in engineering with a degree in engineering physics. Participation in the co-op program led me to work in the fuel-cell industry, display industry, and then the semiconductor industry. From there I launched my own company as a freelance software engineer. This led me to work with QxMD Software, where I was part of a team developing class-leading apps and services for medical practitioners with the goal of transforming patient care. For the last 10 years, I have had the privilege of work on one of my favourite apps as part of the development and management teams at 1Password, making it more convenient for everyone to secure their digital lives.
