Philo Janus is a senior technology specialist with Microsoft. Over the years he has presented Microsoft Office InfoPath to thousands of users and developers, and assisted with enterprise implementations of InfoPath solutions. With that background, he is particularly sensitive to the difficulties users and developers have had with InfoPath.

He graduated from the US Naval Academy with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering in 1989 to face a challenging career in the US Navy. After driving an aircraft carrier around the Pacific Ocean and a guided-missile frigate through both the Suez and Panama Canals, and serving in the US Embassy in Cairo, a small altercation between his bicycle and an auto indicated a change of career (some would say that landing on his head in that accident would explain many things).

Philo's software development career started with building a training and budgeting application in Access 2.0 in 1995. Since then he's worked with Oracle, Visual Basic, SQL Server, and .NET, building applications for federal agencies, commercial firms, and conglomerates. In 2003 he joined Microsoft as a technology specialist, evangelizing Office as a development platform.
