Joshua Black, MPH
Joshua Black is the founder and CEO of Michai Media, a product studio and software engineering firm based in St. Louis, Missouri. He designs, builds, and ships proprietary technology products across gig economy, beauty tech, vehicle intelligence, public safety, civic infrastructure, and social networking.
Before founding Michai Media, Joshua earned a Master of Public Health and brings a systems-level perspective to technology. He operates at the intersection of software engineering, AI systems, and real-world business operations. He doesn't just advise clients on technology. He runs his own products, manages his own fleet operations, and builds the systems he sells.
His approach is builder-first: flat-rate pricing, no templates, rapid delivery, and code ownership for every client. Michai Media has shipped 8 proprietary products and serves clients across construction, fleet management, real estate, food service, and professional services.
Joshua is based in north St. Louis and is focused on building technology that serves communities that the tech industry typically ignores.
