Mike Boulet

Lead Systems Engineer

I'm the caretaker of the servers that host our customer sites and the project management systems that the Newfangled team uses to make site development such a smooth process. I have the uniquely fortunate task of seeing our team's incredible skill and hard work come to fruition by being involved in the "Go Live" process--taking a customer's finished site and setting it up on our servers for the world to see.

I've been working with software and hardware since 1983. My first program was a maze game on a Commodore VIC 20 which was stored on cassette tape. I started working with Internet related technologies since the beginning when the attitude was that it was all a passing fad (glad they were wrong). I joined Newfangled in 2000 and have worn many different hats at the company. My family and I moved from Rhode Island to the incredible state of North Carolina in 2005. My hobbies can be summed up in a few words: I love building stuff. I build stuff in the virtual realm: Web apps using the LAMP stack and IPhone programming and then build stuff in the physical realm: general carpentry, solar cooker, self bow. Other Interests: gardening, solar power, electric cars, chickens, hunting and fishing. I adore my wife and our four children, they are everything to me.
