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.

Kevin Pollet and I were interviewed by DZone about the CDI support in Infinispan - if you are interested in Infinispan, caching or data-grids, this should be interesting for you.
Interested in application elasticity?
If so, join me in a webinar next Wednesday where we'll explore you build elastic applications using CDI and Java EE 6. There will be a super cool demo :-D
JavaOne, JUDCon and Devoxx 2011
This autumn I'm speaking at JavaOne (2nd - 6th October in San Francisco), JUDCon London (31st October, 1st November) and Devoxx (14th - 18th November).
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, then you'll have seen that Red Hat just added support for JBoss AS 7 on OpenShift (both Express and Flex).
Quick maven tip for you. If you want to generate a META-INF/LICNSE.txt and META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt for your jars (very useful for libraries so users can quickly build an understanding of any licensing implications), here's how.
I've spent some time recently working on tutorials and quickstarts for JBoss AS 7, as well as an archetype for creating your own Java EE 6 project for JBoss AS 7. Check it out!
Next week, I'll be at the Paris JUG on the evening of Tuesday 14th June. I'll stawt with a CDI overview, and then move on to discuss CDI extensions.
