Hi, I’m Mike. I have been a developer for a few years now, and love it. I have built quite a lot of stuff, ranging from real time telecomms, data acquisition systems, betting systems, data warehouses and front end apps.
Javascript is the place to be these days, and I have adapted myself into the space, using all the best tools on offer.
I created Back2bikes in 2012, not knowing what it would lead to, and now I am extending it into new areas with this project. It’s all very exciting.
Hobbies
I like everything about cycling, riding, fixing, racing, talking about it. I own under 12 bikes (not including the ones at Back2bikes)
I paddle an Ocean racing ski on Port Phillip bay, the squad I train with go out all year round, even when it’s cold and blowing a gale. In fact those are the best days to be out in the waves
I volunteer at Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club, and Sandridge Life Saving Club, so I spend quite a bit of time in and around the water.
I also code for fun, and am always updating my skills with new tools.
What I want to get from this project?
I want to make this project successful, which means guiding the team to do the following
- Develop and test a quality app
- Improve Back2bikes operations
- Help you understand the development workflow
- Help you become effective in a team environment
- Have some fun
Where do I want to be in 12 months?
Running a software app consultancy
