Mike started developing websites when he was at the age of 16. Then he started doing serious PHP development for multinationals and created zOOm Media Gallery, a nice gallery component for a CMS, now called Joomla. Meanwhile, he started studying for bachelor of Arts at the Erasmus university Rotterdam (dropped it after a year) and working in Amsterdam for eBuddy. He created their Ajax chat client and its underlying Javascript framework for Rich Internet Applications. Now he works as a Community Lead for Javeline BV also located in Amsterdam - The Netherlands, to ramp up their open source efforts.
