Michael KesslerFounder & CEO | DevLand AI & sliQue Robotics

Michael Kessler is the founder and CEO of DevLand AI, an education and reinforcement learning company reimagining how kids and machines learn—starting with gamified platforms that turn code into play and classrooms into launchpads.

He also leads sliQue Robotics, a cross-continental operation engineering AI-driven robots, IoT infrastructure, and enterprise intelligence platforms to transform real-world environments—casinos, hotels, factories—into connected systems of tomorrow.

Michael’s journey began not in a boardroom, but in backrooms—tinkering with code, challenging broken education systems, and pushing back against Big Tech’s monopoly on innovation. He’s built global teams across the U.S., China, and India, raised capital on grit and vision, and isn’t afraid to call out complacency in a world that desperately needs bold thinking and better tools.

Whether he's engineering mesh networks for 100,000-square-foot casinos, designing reinforcement learning agents for DevLand Arcade, or advocating for a Digital Geneva Convention, Michael moves fast, breaks the right things, and builds with purpose.
