Who Am I

I'm a field engineer for Sun. (I say field engineer rather than the traditional title of SE because we are currently playing a game of musical chairs with job titles at Sun.) Before working for Sun I worked for Netscape on the other side of the Netscape/Sun alliance. When Netscape ended the alliance I joined Sun and have been here since. Before Netscape I was a consultant doing programming, system architecture, and project management.

Since I'm a field engineer I tend to be a jack of all trades. In 2002 I published a J2EE book. And a lot of people know me as a Sun Application Server guru. But I've spent time working with almost the entire Java Enterprise System. Plus I've been investing a lot of time in N1 Service Provisioning System. (Which is just a wickedly cool product.) So I know a little bit about a lot of things. If it is a Netscape Actra Sun|Netscape Alliance iPlanet SunONE Sun Java System product, I've probably spent time installing, configuring, or troubleshooting it.
