He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of collaborating with Michael while we overlapped at HP last year. I was doing research on enterprise social networking that involved building an internal social network webapp called WaterCooler to service 300,000 employees and contractors. Before long the challenges of scaling and maintaining a web service for a worldwide population were starting to overwhelm my work. I'd seen Michael engaging with users in the nascent WaterCooler community, and reverse-engineering APIs I hadn't had time to document yet to build mashups and plugins with SharePoint and Office Communicator. In his spare time, he was contributing tools that vastly enhanced WaterCooler's usefulness and reach, all on top of his day job. Over time, when I needed volunteers to step up and help with administration and maintenance tasks, Michael was one of the first to come forward. As word of mouth grew and we drew the attention of the German works council, he was instrumental in negotiating an agreement that satisfied local privacy concerns while allowing the app to flourish. Finally, when it came time for me to leave HP, he volunteered to take over the WaterCooler project, helping HP to embrace social software amidst organizational and IT challenges, overseeing a contractor, and leading the community of WaterCooler developers and users to sustain it as a part of HP's new employee engagement strategy. Despite our collaboration being long-distance, Michael's volunteer enthusiasm, hacker spirit, and entrepreneurial drive have been an inspiration to me throughout our mutual time at HP. I consider myself lucky to have worked with him."
