Mike Seidle

This is me, Mike Seidle, dressed to the nines. The usual version comes in denim.

This blog is my personal website. Outside of my professional life, I’m the father of five (four daughters and a son), and married to Claudia (Bolaños) Seidle. Between the family and work, I try to go fishing when I can and am trying to figure out which kit airplane I’m going to build this summer and fall.

Professionally, I’m an entrepeneuer, programmer and recovering sales/marketing executive (I spent a decade managing sales and marketing). I build companies that use a Software As A Service (SAAS) model.  My preferred toolchain is Python, Django, MySQL, Git and Emacs. At the end of the day, results are what really matters, so I’ve had the experience of coding in PHP, Perl, C++, Objective C, C, Pascal, Fortran, Prolog, Lisp, Assembler (x86, 68000 and VMS), ASP, Visual Basic and Rexx.

Right now I’m focused on Virtual Payment Systems, a credit card processing company that provides credit card processing for lawyers, education and service businesses. We built the software last summer, and are now actively growing and hope to start seeking investment soon.

My previous startups include Focal Point Consulting (2002-2004)  Professional Blog Service (2007 – I’m still on the board there), Linking Indiana (2008 – Sold in 2010), and Indy Associates (2005-2010).
