Mike Geyser is a Google Developer Expert in Web Technologies from South Africa, where he works in the R&D team at a company called BBD. He is a co-organiser of the Jozi.Js meetup groups, and is a frequent technical speaker. He has been hacking on the web since Geocities was a 'thing', and has the keening wail of dialup modem etched into his subconscious. While he is fluent in several ‘golden hammer’ programming languages, he has a long-lived love affair with JavaScript, and cannot see its (many, obvious) flaws. He has worked on lots of interesting enterprise applications, but it is the challenges of the public web that really appeal to him - having spent his formative years building transactional websites. He is always eager to talk about the web platform, but be warned, he is prone to hyperbole.
