"Mike and I worked together on the Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign app. While I was leading the team in Brooklyn with the iOS effort, Mike was (remotely) holding the fort by himself on the Android side.

Bruno de Carvalho Director of Mobile, Hillary For America

"Michael was a pleasure to work with. He was always available, and provided some of the best work I've seen, in such a short time. I'd jump at the chance to work with Michael again, and look forward to that day."

Ryan Negri CEO, Laicos

"If you want things done correctly, quickly and look great, Mike is the guy. Mike's ability to work in many different languages and frameworks, combined with his eye for design makes him a rare talent."

Steve Wilson CTO, MamaBearApp

"I've worked with Mike on a few projects now, and what stands out is his personal ownership of what he's building. He's not content to merely implement a set of technical requirements and turn that back over to the client; he tries to understand both the goals of the business and the perspective of the user and find a solution that works with both. I'd highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for that level of engagement and professionalism."

Joseph Rose CTO, MenuPad
