Top SchoolMichael Heller is a Chief Platform Architect with nine years of focused experience building privacy-preserving, auditable distributed systems that bridge big data, AI, and risk management for regulated enterprises. He has led Data & AI strategy and first-of-a-kind implementations at IBM and architected local-first platform substrates emphasizing provenance, observability, and reproducible audit trails across devices and communities. His background in quantitative finance and hands-on work in cryptographic currency startups inform a rare combination of financial rigor, cryptography expertise, and systems design.
