Mihir Mone is a postgraduate from Monash University, Australia. Although he did his post graduation in network computing, these days, he mainly is into web and mobile development. After spending some time fiddling around with routers and switches, he quickly decided to build upon his passion for web development—not design, but development. Building web systems and applications rather than websites with all their fancy Flash animations was something that was very interesting and alluring to him. He even returned to his alma mater to teach web development in order to give back what he had learned.
Now, he works for a small software/engineering house in Melbourne, doing web development and prototyping exciting new ideas in the field of data visualization and UX domains.
He is also a big JavaScript fan and has previously reviewed a few books on jQuery and JavaScript. He is a Linux enthusiast and a big proponent of the OSS movement. He believes that software should always be free to actualize its true potential.
A true geek at heart, he spends some of his leisure time writing code in the hope that it may be helpful to the masses. You can find more information on him at http://mihirmone.apphb.com.

He is also a member of the Xitrum web framework project (http://xitrum-framework.github.io/). As a part of this project, he is learning the functional programming style of Scala by either creating sample applications or translating documents.
He has been a reviewer on Learning Behavior-driven Development Javascript, published by Packt Publishing.
