Michael Kaye's professional experience is an open book that spans a great distance and covers an encyclopedia of different topics.

Within three years, he had climbed the corporate ladder to being executive relocated to Atlanta, GA to hold the position of a field service engineer supporting Fortune 500 clients and America's top 100 law firms. After two years of racking up SkyMiles traveling nonstop across the southeast of the United States, he left to take the position of Director of IT for a mid-size consulting firm that specialized in the banking world.

The Online Banking Survey was a three-month project that took an in-depth examination of the online banking capabilities of more than 200 banks in North & South America.
