Hi,

hello

I'm Michael. Most people call me Mike.

You can read more about me at mikekrisher.com. I've been in the industry for over two decades. In recent years, I have been focused on people and process. I ✨still✨ write code but spend a fair amount of time thinking about how to solve the problems teams experience. I believe the majority of those problems are due to a lack of proper planning and setting expectations.

Bio:
