As founder and CEO of BeatBox Technologies (formerly known as ClickCadence), Michael created the market-leading network appliance for monitoring enterprise web applications. BeatBox combined network packet-sniffing with TCP reassembly, SSL decryption, real-time sessionizing, and rules-based data processing to provide website administrators with more detailed pictures of visitor interactions. Michael sold BeatBox to Mercury Interactive in 2005, which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP Software) in 2006. BeatBox is now part of HP's Real User Monitor (RUM) product.
Prior to BeatBox, Michael worked as CTO of Innovative Resource Group (IRG), a subsidiary of iGate Corporation that acquired his first technology company, Terminus System Designs (TSD). In the mid 1990's, TSD developed Entropy, an object-relational database for the web that made it easy to build databases and integrate them with websites using a simple, tag-based markup language. Michael studied Business and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.
