Many years of software development experience spanning mainframe operating system kernels, large-scale transaction processing systems, enterprise application server internals, XML web services & protocols, and occasionally some graphical rich client and web applications.

I am currently a Principal Software Engineer in the Systems Research Group at Microsoft Research, working on software frameworks and tools for creating cloud-scale applications.

We may also have met in my past lives as a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft working on Web Service Standards and/or Windows Live Identity Services, or before that in my Enterprise Java persona.

Anything that I ask or say here should not be interpreted as speaking on behalf of my current, previous or future employers.
