He previously worked for small UK e-forms companies like edge IPK (now part of Temenos group) and for larger vendors in the enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) spheres such as IBM FileNet.
While working for IBM FileNet, he coauthored an IBM Redbook on IBM FileNet P8 Platform and Architecture and wrote much of the platform, content, use cases, and security information in the book.

He is passionate about enterprise class software solutions that solve really difficult problems for customers.

Authors' Acknowledgments
First, I want to thank my wife, Wendy, for putting up with me over the past year as I retreated into the study to write (and, yes, agonize over) this book. Wendy, I would not have finished this book without your support.
Also, my thanks to the many great people at MarkLogic who supported me in writing this book and to the other passionate people working for NoSQL companies who communicated with me via Twitter and email to provide timely input for the book.
