Summary

I enjoy producing software which gets used (a lot), that users can look at and think "this solves a problem." I'm particularly interested in software engineering, portlets and business process integration, and Web 2.0 (the Read-Write web) -- especially the implications/oportunities of increasingly inter-linked, meta-data enhanced digital content and information. Automatic population & analysis of meta-data, the scalability of ad-hoc "folksonomies", and user-attribute based profiles seem like they'll be particular important as we shift to an increasingly personalized, user-produced content & service model.
