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.

Proud ...
I have two sons. They both make me proud on a daily basis. I've been away for a week at Summit and whilst there my youngest son, who's not quite 13, did something brave that made me very proud of him. I can't go into what it was except to say that he did it through the medium of social media - that annoyed me slightly but it seems to be the way of things today for a certain generation. I've told him that what he did was brave and made me proud but I figured I would also put it here so he can refer to it in the future; it's the closest I can get to social media.
