ABOUT US

Michael O'Brien, Founder, CEO

I founded Mbedthis Software to allow me to work on the next generation of web-enabled solutions. We have seen the first generation with e-commerce and basic web interfaces. But the technology allows so much more. I wanted to create web-server solutions that enabled easier, more powerful web applications. I have a passion for clean, elegant solutions and software that excels at what it does. To create such software with a team of equally committed individuals is pure fun.
 
Previously, I founded GoAhead Software to create high availability software for embedded devices. Originally founded in Australia, I chose to relocate GoAhead to Seattle and abandon the sunny beaches of the Australian Gold Coast after visiting Seattle on a beautiful July sunny day. I thought it was just like home, till November!

Prior to that I co-founded a hardware communications company and even earlier cut my teeth porting UNIX to early Intel 286 and 386 processors.

I now have a family with two wonderful boys, a great wife and a sometimes annoying dog. But that is life.
