Biography
I am a Java EE professional with 24 years of IT experience. I've
developed software from Fortran to Ruby on Rails. I prefer Java. I
have led the development of projects as team leader and architect.
I've also managed software development in the US and Pakistan. I
recently formed a company Cape Henry Technologies Inc. in Oklahoma and
now work through my company for the state of North Carolina. I am a
solutions provider and thrive on providing solid architecture and then
delivering implementations to these designs.
I have three primary professional goals:
- Use open source solutions to perform Enterprise business implementations
- Listen attentively to my clients and clearly understand their needs
- Provide only the best quality solutions for my clients
Statement
Years ago, I did SSO implementations for various clients and
BouncyCastle was one of the JCE pieces I used for VW and Audi and man
was it tough to please everyone. I came up with several good
solutions on my own but timing didn't allow completions of those.
Marc Fleury hooked me up with Ivan Ivenilov in Texas to be part of the
JBoss security team, but I ended up going to Oklahoma City to work for
CIBER. I'm using CAS now for the state of North Carolina and fighting
an opposition to open source and Linux vs. Windows. I was hired to
implement JBoss for all Java applications and use JAAS security. I
still think CAS is "THE" solution to Enterprise authentication. SSO
is nice but the common authentication is a trend setter. The
development community should have user/password police that punish
developers that continue to use system property files and unique
user/password checking per application. No vision
