I’ve gotten into a habit of using this space to record when I change jobs<\/a>. It’s kind of useful – for example, a quick search here is an easy way for me to check when I left the WebSphere Process Server team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With that fairly flimsy excuse out of the way, this is a post to say that I’m moving again! <\/p>\n

For the last few years, I’ve been working as an Emerging Technologies Specialist. I’ve explained what that means<\/a> before, but essentially we try out emerging technologies to solve customer problems, as one of the ways to inform the development of future IBM software products. My projects are typically short-term, rapid prototyping. <\/p>\n

It’s meant that I’ve got to try out some very cool technologies including some fascinating things from our Research labs. But the most inspiring thing I’ve seen come out of Research for many years has been IBM Watson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
