Michael Davis

Principal, Founder

Michael began programming at the early age of 14. Never getting over this initial crush, he has been found using everything from a TI 99/4A to an IBM 360/370 to a Sun 3/60 to a DELL and now, AWS. His interests have taken him from the front-end, crafting several open-source libraries including the Portable Graphics Layer, Editor Object and Mica Graphics Framework to releasing several frameworks for declarative application generation. He was one of the first people to start using Java, and because the Mica framework provided Swing-like functionality before Swing was a glimmer in Sun's eye, several of our clients were able to boast about full-featured Java applications before anyone else in the World. Mike is now developing people-focused web applications in Ruby on Rails and Javascript, going back to his roots when he was developing terminate-and-stay resident tools for people to use on PCDOS 2.0.
