About Me

My name is Mike Admire.  I’m a software developer living in Kansas City, MO.  I currently specialize in Internet and web applications using Ruby and C#/ASP.Net.  After several years designing and building network and Unix infrastructure, I now enjoy doing development work full time.  I have been working in Internet technologies since the mid nineties and have worked on high traffic sites like GoComics, Slate’s Cartoonbox, Garfield, and Doonesbury.  I am a long-time advocate of Open Source software, and continue to work on both the Windows and Unix (primarily Linux and Mac OSX) platforms .

Outside of technology, I enjoy photography, mountain biking, and travel.  I am an avid reader and seem to always have more books than I have bookshelves.  I struggle at times to balance work and play, as I tend to be pretty driven by my work.
