Michael is such a hardworking, big-thinking technologist that it prompts questions about whether he’s human or simply an enormous brain. Smart money says the answer is somewhere in between. He’s responsible for overall technology and platform strategy. Prior to Zynga, he designed and built the core systems for eUniverse and developed web caching and filesystem/kernel technology at Network Appliance. He studied music, math, and physics at UC Santa Cruz and enjoys playing the violin and piano.
