Platform Statement

While at Rutgers I worked with the team at Yale to bring CAS into the Jasig community and contributed to the early CAS3 domain model.  I am also the author of the initial port of the Java CAS Client to .NET.  I have a long history in open source, the Jasig community, and CAS.  In this role I would apply my community experience, technical knowledge, and enthusiasm for open source to ensure the long term viability and health of this great project.
