Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure of working with Mike on several complex software projects. Mike stands out for me amongst the great engineering minds I have had the opportunity to work with. He consistently delivers high-quality work ahead of time and his services are undeniably excellent value for money. What truly sets Mike apart though is his forward-thinking approach to product development. He proactively challenges himself to embrace cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, particularly in AI-enabled development whilst being able to keep things beautifully simple at the same time. To cap it all off he is a thoroughly nice guy to work with. Anyone would be lucky to have Mike as part of their team." and "Having worked intermittently but intensively with Mike over a period of a couple of years and having read his commendations from his work colleagues I feel moved to add my tribute. LinkedIn did not offer me the chance to correctly represent our true relationship so I will state it here. I was teaching Mike to swim - specifically to swim Front Crawl. This was well outside Mike's comfort zone but he was a fantastic student, with a very positive and attentive attitude. Mike made good solid progress, practicing and researching the subject on his own. He showed insight beyond his experience and was a joy to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching and later coaching him - he retained the information I provided and over time was able to become his own coach. That's always my goal for clients - to empower them with the knowledge they need to continue without me. Mike, thanks for letting me work with you. We probably should have stopped sooner but I was enjoying the process."
