About Mike
I’m Colombian by marriage, Hungarian by blood, German by tongue and I grew up in the US.
Currently, I live in Blacksburg, Virginia, home of Virginia Tech. I have also lived in Budapest, Hungary and in a small rural town in New Jersey (not unlike Blacksburg, but a lot less to do).
I make software for Apple products and such things as programming, interface design, databases and translations/localizations. I work a lot in Adobe’s Flash, Flex, Microsoft’s ASP .NET and Javascript/AJAX, PHP and Objective-C. I also do photo work when I’m needed.
I also help teach scuba diving through Avalon Adventures. It combines one of my favorite hobbies with my passion to teach others.
My past includes working in Higher Education Sales at Apple Inc. for New River Valley colleges (Virginia Tech and Radford), owner of a Mac software company, state ranked sabre fencer, a New Media Consultant at Virginia Tech and I have quite a few years of video production experience.
My moto is “Trying to Fit Life into a Lifetime” and I have no idea how long that lifetime is. So, hopefully you find something useful in these pages. So, that’s just a little bit about me. If you’re more curious than that, you know how to contact me!
