About
Personal
I’m originally from St. Louis, MO, but really grew up in New Providence, NJ (home). I spent a stint in Beijing, PRC but now hang my hat in Piscataway, NJ. I have three beautiful children: Chris (almost 3), Leila & Penny (both 1) and an amazing wife Lisa who holds everything together. Given the 3 small children, and immediate proximity from our current location to their grandparents I’m fairly rooted in NJ, though I love travel and do hope to someday be able to have a pushpin in my world map on every continent.
Professional
I’m a Rutgers University graduate who is currently employed by Rutgers Office of Instrutional and Research Technology. My current focus is Rutgers Sakai implementation, though I am also keenly interested in Web 2.0, online collaboration, and identity management issues.
I also perform independent consulting related to portals, learning management systems, enterprise architecture & object oriented design, open-source software and community involvement, and agile development practices.
I was previously employed with Rutgers Enterprise Systems and Services as an Application Developer focused on the myRutgers portal, which is based on uPortal project, as well as Identity Management.
