Mike Riethmuller, the person of the week

Person Of The Week

Mike Riethmuller is passionate about web development and advocates for anything that contributes to good quality web development. He has worked on some of Australia’s largest websites as well as some of the smallest community sites. When he’s not building sites or blogging, he loves experimenting with code, learning new things, and finding techniques that challenge what we think is best practice. Mike shares his knowledge at conferences and at community events and meetups which he also organizes. Thank you for sharing and caring, dear Mike!
