Micheal was a pleasure to work with while at Bookatable. Highly knowledgeable around the react ecosystem. Excellent at helping the rest of the team get up to speed to meet our deliverables. Mike was also good at both understanding and communicating both technical and business needs. Highly recommended.

Mike is a pleasure to work with. His design skills and technical ability is amazing. I have worked with Mike to produce a range of marketing material, website and rebrands. He is organised, highly efficient and I do recommend him. Mike and I also worked together previously and there too is was just brilliant. He works well with people and managing projects effectively. It has been a pleasure to work with him

      The project was to rebuild cromwell.co.uk from scratch. We used React and Redux to power the e-commerce web app along with many other ReactJS libraries. This was a varied and challenging role as I had to manage staff and recruitment, liaising with other teams about data contracts, being the scrum master along with coding and leading the architectural decisions for how to build the web app.
