Biography:
I worked for NC State University for 11 years, including part time, as a systems programmer before joining Jive Software in October of 2007. I met Jive through my constant involvement in the world of XMPP. At the time I was the lead developer of PyAIMt and PyICQt, both of which I handed off to new maintainers. After talking with Matt Tucker for a bit, I began writing the IM Gateway plugin for Openfire, and my involvement with Jive and Ignite grew from there.
I am the current "face of Ignite Realtime", so feel free to ping me about the site itself, though I would recommend the Jive Lounge as a good place to post such things as it can encourage good discussion.
