\"Me!\"<\/a>

Me!<\/p><\/div>\n

My name is Mike Conley, and I work on the best web browser in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2009, I completed an Honours B.Sc, graduating with distinction while doubling in Computer Science and Drama. \u00a0In 2010, I completed my M.Sc in the Software Engineering group at the University of Toronto Department of Computer Science. \u00a0My research paper was on using peer code review as a teaching tool<\/a>. My supervisor was Dr. Greg Wilson.<\/a><\/p>\n

I am currently working as a software developer for\u00a0Mozilla Corp<\/a> on the Firefox web browser<\/a> for desktop. I also periodically contribute to the Thunderbird e-mail client<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If it’s not obvious, I’m a fan of open-source software. \u00a0In my spare time, I mentor students hacking on Review Board<\/a> (on which I also did my GSoC<\/a>).<\/p>\n

For 2008-2009, I was the Assistant Technical Director at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse at UofT for the\u00a0University College Drama Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve worked for three summers as an internal web application developer for the District School Board of Niagara in St. Catharines, Ontario, and I very rarely dabble in freelance web development.<\/p>\n

I have a passion for theater, music, programming, and giving the audience (or user) an enjoyable and intuitive experience.\u00a0 I’m a huge Peanuts<\/a> fan, I love dogs, and can’t stand seafood.<\/p>\n

In 2004, I co-wrote, co-directed, acted in, and designed sound \/ music for a multiple award-winning play called Zeemo and Fuft: Spacetronauts. \u00a0The play reached the provincial showcase for the Sears Drama Festival<\/a>, and was presented at the IDEA<\/a> 2004 World Congress in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

I’ve played guitar since I was five years old, and I play and sing backup vocals in a band called The Johnson Report.\u00a0 Check us out<\/a> if you have a moment:<\/p>\n

There’s lots more to tell, and I’ll eventually put it here.\u00a0 Until then, courage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
