Blogging has become very popular lately at Sun, especially in conjunction with today's launch of OpenSolaris. Looks like it's time for me to dive in as well.

So who am I? I'm an architect in the Solaris group, where I work on OS security features. For my first few years at Sun, I worked on Trusted Solaris, Sun's multi-level secure version of Solaris, and helped lead the effort to migrate some of its features into mainstream Solaris.

Before coming to Sun, I worked as an engineer or manager in UNIX kernel groups at several other companies. I can honestly say that the Solaris organization at Sun is the most impressive group of engineers I've ever worked with; it's a privilege to be a part of that team. I'm excited by the idea that through these blogs we can give the rest of the world a little more insight into what we do here and why it's such a special place to be.
