About me
This blog covers a broad spectrum of subjects focussing on distributed/Service-Oriented systems architecture, design, implementation, performance, security and identity ... what I lovingly refer to as the Metaverse.
About Me:
I am the Product Manager for Microsoft's Identity Platform Developer Marketing group and own Windows CardSpace™ (formerly codenamed "InfoCard") Product Management.
I moved to the USA in Jan 2003 to join the team building Windows Communication Foundation (formerly "Indigo"), and quickly took up the task of communicating how to select and use Microsoft's existing distributed systes technology stack most appropriately and how to prepare for WCF.
Before moving to the USA, I worked in Microsoft UK's Solution Development Center where I was Solution Architect for the foundations underlying the UK Government Gateway (overview here). I was also a Principal Consultant in Microsoft UK's Consulting Services helping customers build effective systems on top of Microsoft's technologies.
Prior to joining Microsoft in June 2000, I formed and ran a company delivering consulting, training and development services specialized in powerful and scalable enterprise systems for customers around Europe. Prior to this, I was an architect and lead developer at companies delivering business, technical and military solutions.
