Michael and I worked together, and (equally as important) became friends in our roles together at NextAngles, a division within Mphasis. He demonstrated a rare level of passion for his craft and a dedication to high code quality and engineering discipline within his team. Michael was a major contributor to both solid hiring practices and a work environment conducive to friendliness & productivity that allowed the team he managed to develop camaraderie. I'm truly looking forward to crossing paths with him again in the future.
