Mike's first programming experiences were in the local department store, and his formative learning experiences were all shaped by the hacker culture of the 1980s. Since then, he was a university researcher and educator (and researcher on education), a freelance developer, and finally a CEO. He has continuously taught programming in high schools, universities, to kids, and as commercial training. He's observed the effects of hacker culture and education in many industrial projects.
