I am a technology analyst and software developer with over five years of experience. Primarily, I work as a tech analyst dedicated to a software application development ‘beat’; but, in a fluid media world, I am also an analyst, technology evangelist, and content consultant. As the previously narrow discipline of programming now extends across a wider transept of the enterprise IT landscape, my editorial purview has also broadened. I have spent much of the last three years also focusing on open source, data analytics and intelligence, cloud computing, mobile devices, and data management. I have an extensive background in software development starting as a web developer.
