About Mike

Hello, I am Mike, a web developer & designer from the Philadelphia area. At the start of my career, in addition to designing and developing websites, I created logos and other print material for local businesses. Over the years, I shifted toward focusing primarily on developing websites and mobile applications. I started at Dyad Communications when they began to grow their web design portfolio. I started building extravagant Flash websites, and when the first iPhone was released in 2007 and subsequently the iPad in 2010, I began translating those elegant designs for mobile devices. I am now the Senior Interactive Director at One Trick Pony, where I help lead the team that develops web solutions for international brands such as Disney, Virgin, and American Express, to name just a few, as well as successful regional businesses.

Knowledge Base

Throughout the years, the tools I've used have changed or evolved with the changing tech world. From sites built with Flash to mobile web apps with SenchaTouch to responsive mobile-first websites. This has built up an extensive skillset and knowledge base. Here are some of the tools that make up my current toolbox.

Mike has always held a strong interest in photography from a young age. He furthered that interest by studying it during high school and college. Today he enjoys shooting, developing, and advancing his knowledge and experience in photography.
