Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We are posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Next up is Mike aka MikeH, on our Engineering Team. Mike works remotely from Massachusetts so we don't get to see him all that much here at the Labs. When he comes to visit, he strikes me as a really smart and gentle soul. Plus, he's also from the armpit of Massachusetts, a bond I also share with Etsy engineer, Alec. 

One of his main interests outside of Etsy is video and filmmaking. We on the Storque Team are eager to get him to make a video for this here blog!

Mike sounds like a  fellow with very interesting talents, especially when you ask the other engineers for Fun Facts:

• He's a dwarf-shaman.
• His cat types for him half the time.
• He has a black belt in twisted.
