Need an advanced Flash/Flex developer? Mike’s available!

I just read that the company Mike Britton was working for just fired their entire staff. I haven't met Mike in real life but I do know him from the Arp mailing list, where he is very active. He's also built his blog using Arp and is now reworking it in Flex 2 and ActionScript 3. One of my main criteria when hiring developers is how active they are in the community and how passionate they are about what they do. Mike appears to have those bases covered.

If you're looking for a Flash/Flex developer with advanced ActionScript knowledge and with experience in pattern-based development, take a look at Mike's resume (direct PDF link) and get in touch with him.

    Wow Aral, thats a pretty stand up thing to do, especially for a guy you’ve never even met. My hats off to you for making the gesture.

    Indeed, thank you Aral for this extremely generous endorsement. And Dave, I really dig your site.

    Hi guys,
    Mike if you’re reading the comments here, just a few points from your site to aid your job search;
    -on the contact page, the contact form is set to single text field, meaning that i can’t make new paragraphs or cut and paste from any of my company documents
    -an email address on the resume would be good, frankly our HR does almost all of its initial contact via email and if they don’t find it quickly they’ll pass on to the next
    -when I couldn’t use the form or find an email address, I tried to leave a comment, but I got a general error message that didn’t really tell me how I had messed up in leaving a comment (missing field maybe?)
    PLEASE don’t think I’m being a jerk here - I go through a lot of resumes and usually I wouldn’t take time to point out these things, but I think your work and skill set is pretty tight. Just make it easier for companies to hook up with you.

    I think elance is a good source to pick up temp work. I’m a freelancer, and don’t have any full-time position leads, otherwise I’d offer you a plug. If you are skilled with Flash Forms please send me a line.

    Thanks so much madwilli for your comments. I must have been insane to not include my email address on the resume. The problem has been fixed and my updated resume can be found in Aral’s original post.
