Michael MacDonald

MICHAEL MACDONALD, Founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board Visual Mining,
Inc., has extensive experience in software design, development, and
implementation, specializing in information graphics and Graphical User
Interface applications. Recognizing the need for easy-to-implement
dynamic graphics as well as the corporate support for the Java standard
from Netscape and Sun Microsystems, he correctly assessed the value of a
dynamic web-based graphics solution, and the need to supply chart
components for developers and HTML authors. Before starting Visual
Mining, Mr. MacDonald’s work was incorporated in several large-scale
software applications from AT&T, Intersolv, Hewlett-Packard, Tracor, and
Shiva Corporation, as well as numerous applications within the US
government and military. In 1995, Mr. MacDonald started MJS Consulting,
a computer services organization providing software support to
government and Fortune 500 companies, including Sun Microsystems, Fannie
Mae, National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency and several
others. He has also worked for Rapid Systems Solutions Inc, Tracor
Aerospace ISD and the National Security Agency as a senior research
intelligence analyst.
