Mike Daley, British Airways

Since joining BA eight years ago, Mike Daley has worked extensively as a developer and architect in the design and build of commercial and operational systems for British Airways, including the ba.com platform, where he played a key role in the adoption of the Spring framework.

He is currently responsible for the design and implementation of British Airways' Online Check-in application, and is involved in shaping the evolution of BA's Service-Oriented Architecture.

Mike wishes he could spend more time with Eclipse, and keeps coding when he thinks no one's looking. He wishes he was better at it.
