My name is Frank Gocinski and I work for Microsoft here in Redmond, Washington. My role at Microsoft is in my mind one of the most exciting and challenging positions at the company. I have a small group of awesome folks and together with a lot of help from the Product teams within the Mobile Platforms Division we drive ISV related Business Development and Technical Evangelism. Our focus is the Tablet and Mobile PC Developer and the overall ISV ecosystem supporting it.
I consider this the ultimate jack of all trades master of none type of role that scans the entire breadth of the product development cycle. We are involved from specifications through product release and we are goaled to bring the voice of the development community and the ISV into the product team and to deliver the technical content our customers need to get the job done. It’s a lot of fun and I hope to share with you through this blog what it is we actually do…
The next few months should prove to be very exciting for the Tablet PC and Mobile PC development platform. We have our first conference focused on developers in the works, we’re calling it Microsoft Windows Anywhere http://www.microsoftwindowsanywhere.com because that really does sum up the role of the Mobile Platforms Division which is to allow the end user access to their applications and data anywhere at anytime and in new social and business settings. We’re also working on some very cool reference applications, technical whitepapers and samples that I’ll discuss more about in future posts.
For now I need to get my feet wet, check out this blogging stuff, see if it makes sense for me and to see if it allows me to connect with more of my customers.
I had a ton of turkey yesterday and even more today. It’s amazing how good it tastes and how many ways you can prepare it. Hot slices on Thursday, Turkey Salad on Friday and I made some stock last night so we’ll be having Turkey Soup tomorrow.
Later,
