Monday February 28, 2005 CEC Me
Well I just finished attending Sun's Customer Engineering Conference (CEC) 2005 in San Francisco, CA. In Jonathan's keynote address he challenged everyone to 1) read his blog daily, and 2) start blogging. So here I am with a new blog!
CEC was a great event. I got to see how many of our internal engineering applications are being utilized by the field engineers who are working with customers on a day to day basis. I was able to get a good feel for what the desperate needs were of these people that my team could help to provide. In addition to this, it's always exciting to get to hear people like Scott McNealy, Jonathan Schwartz, and Greg Papadopoulos speak. They have a great ability to instill that sense of the eminent world domination by Sun Microsystems that makes it cool to be a part of a company like this.
So since this is my first blog entry, a little about me: My name's Mike Davis. I currently work for the Customer Network Services (CNS) group within the Software organization at Sun Microsystems. I am a technical team lead for the platform portal and shared services team. Our main goal is to provide common, reusable components and services to all of the other engineering teams within the CNS group. I've recently been working on helping to define an organization wide architecture for a common platform on which to build connected customer applications. If you're a customer of Sun's you should be expecting to hear a lot more about the Connected Customer initiatives and applications that Sun will be delivering soon!
Prior to joining the Software organization at Sun I worked with the Sun Java Center group which is a part of the Professional Services organization. I was a software architect at numerous customer accounts helping the customers to architect, design and build large scale, distributed software applications.
