Hello world.

Every blog has to start somewhere, so I guess I’ll start with a short bio.

My name is Jeff Mealiffe, and I’m a Software Design Engineer in Test (Lead) within the Exchange team at Microsoft. I’ve worked at Microsoft for 3.5 years, all in Exchange. I currently manage the Integration Stress and Pre-Production test teams which are responsible for running system integration tests against builds of Exchange before they are deployed in production at Microsoft and shipped to customers. Since I’m interested in the performance and functionality of Exchange as a whole, and not of individual components, I guess I’d be considered more of an Exchange generalist (but with lots of specialties). I’ve spent a good deal of time building large-scale Exchange topologies in our labs and pushing them to their limits.

Before coming to Microsoft, I was responsible for a Unix based messaging system (BSDI & FreeBSD) and directory infrastructure (based on Qi/Ph from UIUC) at a large school district in Southern California. In parallel with that work, I completed a degree in Cognitive Science at UC San Diego.
