On today’s episode, Google Product Manager Michael Sayman joins us to talk his career in tech, at incredible companies like Facebook and Google, being self-taught and gaining recognition and success at a young age. Michael Sayman is a 22-year-old first-generation Latin American mobile application entrepreneur and software engineer. Michael published his first app to the App Store (iOS) when he was 13 years old and later gained recognition from Mark Zuckerberg with his launch of 4 Snaps, a turn-based photo game, in his junior year of high school. Zuckerberg then hired Michael, who became Facebook's "teen-in-residence" at 17. His success with mobile application development grew in his teenage years at Facebook, where he generated millions in revenue as a high school student. Michael is currently a product manager at Google heading a social gaming startup within the company.
