Creative Portfolio · Michael Gilsinan
I’m a musician, entrepreneur, and hands-on product builder with experience spanning creative identity, physical environments, digital products, and applied AI. My work connects artistic vision, customer understanding, and technology to take ideas from concept to reality.

About
I trained as a classical guitarist at a conservatory in New York City and founded Fort Lee School of Music while I was still a student. Over the next decade it grew into a music and arts school with two locations, a full concert calendar, and a team of 30.
Today I’m Director of Strategic Projects at Sitemetric, an AI-powered construction intelligence platform, reporting to the CEO. Alongside that work, I design and build my own products — ST∆CK and Praxis Stack among them — from first concept through launch.

Always glad to talk about creative work, live music, and products worth building.
