My name is Daniel Rubio and I'm the author behind Web Forefront. I started my career working for a Fortune 500 company (SLB), shortly after, shying away from the inherent politics of developing software in organizations of this size, I moved on to doing contract work as an independent technology consultant. I've been doing it ever since, along with writing and working as CTO-level advisor for several startups and corporate clients.
My primary area of expertise is the design of enterprise & web based software. As such, I have worked with a broad range of platforms -- Java EE, CORBA, .NET , PHP, Python -- and the core issues involved in developing enterprise grade software like integration, security and scalability.
So throughout the years, I've gone full circle working at the code level -- as a developer and architect -- to CTO-level advisor on platform selection strategies. My work spans:
Consulting and training.
Writing: Books, articles for other sites and this blog.
CTO-Founder for sites that include:
http://www.mashupsoft.com/ -- Applications based on web services provided by major portals(i.e. Google, Yahoo, MSN).
http://www.osmosislatina.com/ -- A developer portal for the spanish speaking community focused on open-source software.
http://www.ahorravueltas.com/ -- A spanish news and media aggregator site with over 100 cities.
