People tell me that I'm an enthusiastic and seasoned problem solver, that I bring energy to any team to which I belong. Still not totally sold on who I am? Let's walk through my typical day: Wake up and immediately resent past-Mike for not going to bed earlier.

My main focus is development of Indiegogo's web product, with a specialization in native mobile.

My other main focus is making my coworkers laugh and/or hate me vis a vis excessive corny jokes.

Can you really have two main focuses? The reasonable person in me says, "yes, of course." The mathematician in me says, "I think you mean foci."
