Hi, I'm Mike.

I live in Philadelphia. I'm a software engineer for MCA Solutions, a startup that specializes in business software for managing spare parts for stuff like airplanes. I have eight years of experience in server-side Java/J2EE development, with a wide variety of supporting languages and platforms.

In my free time, I fly small airplanes. I am a private pilot with about 160 hours of experience, and I'm only a few rides away from having my instrument rating. I'm also learning how to fly a multi-engine aircraft.

I'm a liberal political activist. I've volunteered for the campaigns of Joe Hoeffel for Senate (PA 2004), Chuck Pennacchio for Senate (PA 2006), and Ned Lamont for Senate (CT 2006).

I like go running and cycling along the Wissahickon Creek in Fairmount Park. I spend far too much time in smoke-filled, dimly-lit nightclubs. I only use my TV to watch movies and play games.

I'm thinking about pursuing a Master's degree, but have not yet taken either the GRE or the GMAT.

I'm working on some side projects, some of which I may even finish. These include:
