About Me

I am a senior software professional with over a decade of experience in designing, developing and maintaining a wide variety of systems for companies ranging from small to Fortune 500.

My specialties are working in a client facing environment, the ability to understand a business problem, and to identify technical and non-technical solutions. My broad knowledge of software architectures and the enterprise software ecosystem allows me to provide alternatives to hand crafted solutions, and I have successfully led software development teams to delivery.

As an initiator with great communication skills I have successfully built a professional networking group and organized a Java conference. I blog regularly on software practice and development issues and am actively involved in the wider development community. I am also a highly experienced programmer with an extensive technical skills base.

I accumulating knowledge. I like to understand how things work and why. Be it be the geopolitical situation, details of an aspect of popular science, psychology or computing – I want to know more.

I like to speak, write, present in public and host. I am at my happiest when presenting in front of people, hosting an event, mingling, exchanging ideas. As you can probably see from the blog, I can take complex concepts and convey them in an understandable form for the audience.

I currently work as a Principal Consultant for FuseSource, helping clients apply open source messaging and open source ESBs to complex system integrations.
