Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Slater is a product-focused technologist and founder with 15 years of experience building consumer and developer-facing platforms, currently shaping Meta’s internal AI assistant while previously leading PlayFetch at Yello XYZ to simplify LLM integration for apps. He combines a master's in electronic engineering with a strong product-engineering pedigree from eight years at Facebook, where he was a founding member of the team that became Spark AR and later helped launch Instagram’s blockchain monetisation efforts.

Michael’s blend of startup grit and large-platform product rigor lets him bridge developers, designers, and business stakeholders to deliver reliable, testable AI features that can be rolled out without client recompiles.
