Meet The Bloggers

Hey all - I have most recently been filling the role as pseudo program manager under the guise of product planner for desktop search which covers both Windows Desktop Search and Windows Live Search (client). Previously I’ve worked in various business related roles around both the portal and products in the MSN division in Microsoft both in the field and at HQ. Anyone who has spoken to me directly realizes that I’m neither a native Seattle’lite, nor American since I’m originally from South Africa – it’s brutally obvious to me sometimes when everyone around me has an accent, does not really know what Rugby is, and has never heard of biltong! (aka beef jerky – but way better!). I miss the sun and the white sand beaches – but I like Seattle’s water and mountain views. I love music and must seriously have the widest range of downloaded (and paid for!!) music out of anyone. Favorite playlist right now includes Sean Paul, T-Pain, Staind all the way through to Rihanna – go figure!

I've been a blogger since the very first days of LiveJournal. My first tech blog (now retired) was hosted on GeeksWithBlogs.net where I blogged about Search before I even came to work at Microsoft. In fact you might say that's how I got here. Last summer I moved from upstate NY *all* the way to Seattle to join the WDS team as a Test Developer. Since then I've transitioned roles to being a dev on our new Search Client which I can't wait to discuss with you all. I'm a huge music fan and try to hit up as many concerts as possible during the summer. On this year's list are Counting Crows, Goo Goo Dolls, Widespread Panic, Guster, Pearl Jam, David Gray, Bela Fleck, Gov't Mule, and my personal favorite the Dave Matthews Band. In my free time you'll find me hiking, camping, reading at the coffe shop, playing Halo or Geometry Wars, or rocking out on my guitars.

Until recently I was a developer on Windows Live Messenger, and before that I was a developer for threedegrees. I’m the guy to blame for the winks feature (love it or hate it, everyone has an opinion!) and I also worked on sharing features. As a native San Diegan, even after 2 years of living up in Washington, I’m convinced I’ll never quite get used to having Real Weather – I love sun, so the best time of year for me is summer when there’s still light at 10pm. Among my lesser known talents, I used to be a beach lifeguard, EMT, and Red Cross first aid instructor.
We'll add to this list as more of our team comes out of hiding!
