I worked in the IBM MQ (WebSphere MQ and MQSeries) development organisation for 18 years, the last 10 of which as the product architect. I love talking about MQ to anyone who will listen!

I have worked on MQ since 1996 when I joined IBM. My areas of expertise include, Channels, MQ API, MQSC and PCF, Security, SSL, CHLAUTH, Publish/Subscribe and z/OS.

I now work for an MQ Vendor, MQGem Software, creating tools and MQ Technical Education.

I'm mad about facebook, running several pages as well as a well locked down personal page, and am just getting into Twitter now.

I spend a lot of time using PowerPoint due to presentations being a big part of my life both when I was in IBM, and now with my Technical Education role.
