 My name is '''Michael Plasmeier''', but almost everyone calls me '''Plaz'''. I am a [[Associate Product Manager]] at [[Yahoo]] - working on the Membership and Geo-related platforms teams.  I graduated from [[MIT]] in 2013 in [[Computer Science]] and [[Management]].   I am halfway between the tech and the business world, doing both web development and product development.  My interest in doing both started while I was working on [[GridView]], an app I built after [[10th Grade]] that reached 1.3 million users on [[Facebook]].

+=====Internships=====
-After MIT, I will be a Product Strategy Manager at [[Oracle]].  Over IAP, I was a Software Development Extern at [[CardSpring]]. Last summer, I was Product Manager at [[Disney Parks and Resorts Online]] where I worked on a project for Disney Cruise Line.  Last January, I worked in management/strategy consulting at [[Altman Vilandrie & Company]].  The previous summer, I was a web developer at [[NextJump]], an online affiliate advertising firm in New York.  Prior to that, I was an extern in the Office of the Chief Scientist at [[State Street]].  My freshman summer I worked at [[Deutsche Bahn]], the German national railroad, where I designed the smartphone version [[Touch&Travel]], an app that lets you pay for the train with your phone.
