I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

It's spooky when people know you too well
It's Christmas day and we've had family and friends come from across the country. Lots of good times and good food. But the spooky thing for me was when I started to unwrap gifts from people who hadn't coordinated their giving and yet they had a common theme: Star Trek. I've mentioned before that I'm a fan, but it's not something that comes up day-to-day. So it was all a complete surprise, particularly when the gifts came from so many different and disconnected individuals. My inner child is happy today. Merry Christmas!
