Mike Subelsky
Mike Subelsky is a Baltimore-based entrepreneur and technologist. His tools of choice are Ruby and JavaScript but he considers himself a jack-of-all-trades. In 2007, he co-founded a web startup called OtherInbox.com, which he left in December to pursue new as-yet-unannounced ventures.
Subelsky is a big believer in Baltimore's innovation community of artists, technologists, thinkers, and strivers of all types. That belief has powered his efforts in co-founding the Baltimore Improv Group, Ignite Baltimore, Startup City, the Baltimore Hackathon, and other activities.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, Subelsky was a cybersecurity analyst and U.S. Navy cryptologic officer for seven years.
