About me: A Perth based veteran web designer and a technology enthusiast, Michael wasted spent the better part of his youth listening to alternative bands, composing music, and playing video games.Armed with a bad attitude and an intimate knowledge of the video game industry, Michael first acquired a taste for writing when he became a game reviewer for an Australia wide arcade game magazine. Conflicts of interest (the video game suppliers were also the ones who owned the magazine) meant he was often pressured to review games favourably, even if they were shite. He soon quit the position.Further into the nineties and Michael is working as senior designer for a reputable web development firm during the peak of the .com days. The IT industry had such a profound effect that Michael put his musical interests aside and unofficially ceased producing music around 2002. When both the bubble and the company burst Michael formed his own web development company under the moniker Creative 9000, which ran for 5 years before being acquired by TSA Corporation in November of 2006.In between creative projects and raising two daughters with his long term partner, Michael likes keeping abreast of technology trends and the politics that often surround the IT industry. With the recent sale of his company, he hopes to use the newly acquired spare time to re-enter his previous passion - music composition.
