Bio
I am leading the CDI 1.1 specification, and work on JBoss Developer Framework, a set of tutorials and examples for all JBoss users. Previously, I've worked on Infinispan and I led the Seam and Weld projects, and am a founder of the Arquillian project. I've worked on a number of specifications including JSF 2.0, AtInject and Java EE 7. I am a regular speaker at JUGs and conferences such as JavaOne, Devoxx, JAX, JavaBlend, JSFDays, JBoss World, Red Hat Developer Day and JUDCon. I am currently employed by Red Hat Inc. working on JBoss open source projects. Before working for Red Hat, I used and contributed to Seam whilst working at a UK based staffing agency as IT Development Manager.

Gavin pointed out to me that my script to build the Weld distribution was broken, so I've create Weld 1.0.0 SP1 (Service Pack 1) which remedies this. You can now find Weld's sources and binaries in artifacts/weld and the CDI API source, javadoc and binary in artifacts/cdi. Download it from here.

I'm pleased to announce that the Web Beans project has a new name -- Weld
I'll be talking about JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency Injection For Java EE at the Riviera JUG this week, on Friday 2nd October at 14:00.
