Five Recommendations from Epic People
I had the great pleasure of working with Mike while I was at PlayUp. Not only is he one of the best at what he does, he's also a super nice guy and very easy to work with.
The thing I like most about Mike is his versatility. He goes from designing and coding Websites to designing video games, testing builds and driving projects to completion.
He also has a ton of video game knowledge and is very creative. I highly recommend him. If given the chance to hire, or work with Mike again, I would jump at it in a flash.
George Scotto
Vice President of Business Development at Warchest Games
Mike Reilly is a funny, hard-working, dedicated, and highly likable, one-of-a-kind character.
During my tenure at Future, Mike and I worked side by side to research and produce several Blips sites (at Future), and his hard, steady work, accountability, and enjoyable disposition made it fun to work with him all along the way.
He has multiple skill sets, is a quick learner, and always displayed a great attitude.
Douglass Perry
Director of Public Relations at Reverb Communications
In the decade or so that I have known Mike he has proven himself a reliable friend and consultant. More relevantly, perhaps, he is an incredibly intuitive and intelligent game designer.
I am confident that he would prove to be one of the most valuable members of your company very quickly as his knowledge of games and their internal design is at the highest level.
His work for Disinformation was stellar and during every one of our tight-knit company meetings with our COO and Art Director, Mike was an invaluable asset.
Gary Baddeley
CEO at The Disinformation Company Entertainment
Smart, funny and creative Mike is a fantastic addition to any staff.
Hard working and exceptionally motivated you can be confident that he'll get the job done, plus two more, and offer some great ideas on what to do next!
A great attitude and a ton of energy, you'll be happy to have him as a part of your team.

I’m sincerely going to miss Mike! Our Design Jam sessions at Estée Lauder were honestly the best hour of the entire work week!
Mike has invaluable wisdom, undeniable clarity, and tremendous work ethic.
He is truly a master of his craft and an all around incredible person! I am extremely thankful to have had the pleasure of working under his guidance. Wishing him nothing but happiness and success in all his future endeavors.
