I'm an independent consultant specializing in content management (Interwoven Teamsite) and applying Web architecture to enterprise IT.
Primarily I am interested and an expert in data models, Web architecture, Integration, and Information Retrieval. I also enjoy writing software and occasionally do contract programming.
I believe that the increasing interconnectedness of systems and the resulting demand for flexibility and integration leads to problems that are rather poorely addressed by traditional data models and programming paradigms that inherently assume that the designer has control over the domain semantics. I understand these problems to be the underlying reason for the development of flexible technologies we've seen over the past decade. 3rd generation data models (such as RDF and Topic Maps) and innovative software architectural styles as well as elegant GUI applications provide interesting new ways to meet the challenges of coping with change and integration problems in enterprise IT.
