Michael Hanson is a veteran technology leader and serial CTO with 14 years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems and founding multiple startups. Currently leading Clockwise’s engineering organization, he architects AI-driven scheduling systems that process millions of calendar events daily to enable smarter time management for tens of thousands of companies. His career spans founding Ozlo (acquired by Facebook), senior engineering roles at Facebook driving Assistant and wearable voice control, and deep systems work at Mozilla, Cisco, and Apple where he shipped widely used platform innovations. Michael blends product-focused R&D with hands-on architecture—designing everything from on-device ML inference pipelines to large-scale server runtimes—and has repeatedly converted research prototypes into commercial products and exits. Based in Mountain View and educated at Stanford, he’s drawn to projects that make complex systems genuinely useful for people, with a calm emphasis on interoperability and practical deployment details that often go unheralded.
