I am a hands on-techno-file 'do-er'. (one who get things done) Open source is my passion. I create enterprise systems using open source building blocks like: Ingres, Alfresco, Jaspersoft, Salesforce, Talend, Pentaho, JBOSS, JAVA and others. My specialties include open source software appliances. I have successfully designed, built and deployed numerous SW Appliances and worked with SI's and ISV's to create appliance solutions and SaaS offerings. I am comfortable working with developers, managers and senior IT directors. I can confidently speak and interact in informal settings or in front of large audiences.
