Bio

I’m someone with a Systems Engineering degree, a decade and a half of overexposure to the Internet, and (horror of horrors to the uninitiated), Marketing experience – as well as social graces that allow me to mediate between geeks and “regular” folk.

I’ve pretty much done it all where it comes to the telco world, having been immersed in Wi-Fi, 3G (UMTS) and IP-related stuff at a major GSM operator for several years (eleven, actually), plus a little surprise in store for those keeping track of where I am.

But during that long tenure, I spent my time either acting as a solutions architect and interfacing with Marketing or as a product manager and interfacing with Engineering, and as a result I gained a number of interesting insights into the mindsets of either side of the Force... And you'd be surprised to know which is _really_ the Dark one, or where the best cookies are.
