Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Thai is a Director of Engineering and founder with a decade of experience building AI-driven customer experiences and product-focused engineering teams from early prototypes to production at scale. He currently leads engineering at AITHER, the studio behind Partiful (Google Play’s Best App of 2024), where he’s pushing spec-driven development and agentic design-to-code automation to accelerate iteration and release velocity. Previously he founded Catalyst, an on-demand human+AI coaching service that scaled to 200+ executives by combining behavioral science with 24/7 LLM voice avatars. Michael’s background spans enterprise AI deployments at ASAPP—delivering copilots for Comcast, American Airlines, and Spectrum—plus hands-on full‑stack and data work earlier in his career, giving him fluency across product, infra, and ML stacks. He pairs consulting rigor from Deloitte and JP Morgan with startup grit, and is particularly skilled at integrating AI into regulated enterprise environments. Based in New York, he blends a technical MS in Management of Computer Information Systems with a founder’s instinct for product-market fit.
