I'm a Technical Evangelist focused on driving adoption of platforms and building strong developer communities in academia and enterprise. I love to work on challenging problems and learning new technologies/methodoligies. In the past, I've worked with a variety of platforms(*nix, Windows), developed enterprise solutions, architected incredibly large database systems, and a host of web applications, worked with cutting edge networking equipment, and dove deep into security. I've had a lot of exposure and I like it that way. It keeps things interesting and fresh. I have a unique ability that allows me to take the most technical and complex issues and relate them to people in the most humanly digestable way. I never answer questions until having a great understanding of the macro issue which allows me to create the most optimal solution.
