Bio
Paul Barnes
Mike is a clever and talented IT professional who was instrumental in the technical leadership of the All In Poker project. Apart from his deep knowledge and experience in IT, he had many other areas of interest - including great musical talent - and he was always great fun to be around and to have in the team. It would be great to work with him again in the future.

I placed Michael into Ericsson this January and would highly recommend him to all employers as an expert in C# software development. He was and has been a professional to the highest standard and a pleasure to work with.
