Someone who just gets things done! I reported to Mike for 2 years then worked side by side for 3 additional years, collaborating on the Mainframe Software Management (MSM) product. Mike has both broad and deep skills. He originally led the MSM team in an architect role, which required deep knowledge of the z/OS platform. He also has broad knowledge in many other technologies such as Java and R. Mike led the team as a product owner and later as a product manager, working closely with customers as well as the technical staff. His passion for learning new technologies, working closely with customers, a strong leadership of development teams, and his desire to succeed are qualities that make him a true asset to any company.

I have worked with and for Mike for about four years. We have been through thick and thin together developing a new modern mainframe product; this included a six month death march to get the first release out of the door. Mike was key player as we worked days and nights to get the first release out. His strong leadership skills and experience were essential for success of the project. The same story repeated for two next releases where Mike was in charge of up to 40 engineers developing many complex new features and fighting technical debt on several fronts. What I like and admire about Mike is that apart from strong leadership and management skills he also has a very good technical background. He continuosly educates himself on the new trends in the industry and encourages engineers to try new things and experiment. This attidute allowed many good things to happen in our product. 11 out of 10 I would work with Mike anytime again.
