New Job!

As of August 1, 2008 I am working at Syniverse Technologies, as their VP of Strategic Development.

What this means is that I'll be leading the development of new products as well as strategic enhancements to current products.

Syniverse is in the business of connecting network operators to each other, and we do this on many levels. The three main categories are signaling interworking (SS7 protocols) for things like roaming registration and call delivery, roaming clearing and settlement, and message transport for things like SMS and MMS. We work with hundreds of large and small network operators around the world.

This is an interesting area to be in now, as we move towards completing the migration to an IP network backbone. Syniverse will be enabling many new service offerings by bridging different companies' applications and networks together.

So far things are going very well, and I've been extremely busy learning about the products and services we offer as well as getting to know the people here. I'm just getting to the point where I can take a breath (and start blogging again!).
