about

I currently hold the title Operations Manager for Open Calais, maintaining and enhancing the availability and quality of the product, as well as doing the same for Semantic Proxy and other Thomson Reuters initiatives.

With 15 years in IT holding positions from manging consultant, senior systems architect, data management architect, IS customer service and ISP service desk development and implementations, I have extensive IT project management experience in all phases of the system life cycle, including planning, design, development, documentation and project management.

My background includes significant recent experience in IT and Storage TCO and ILM assessment and analysis, enterprise re-architecture, and information strategic planning.

I have successfully guided consulting practices and customer services staff from technology-focused systems to business-focused systems.

I enjoy solid technology based experience in data management and utilization of automated utilities, and in-depth experience with operating systems technologies, messaging technologies and back-up and recovery systems.

My consulting strengths include excellent communications skills, with particular expertise in bridging the cultural and language gap between technology and users constituencies.

@steven_nelson @opencalais Hi Steven, your issue looks like a timeout at the provider. My apologies - I'll keep after them + keep you posted

@steven_nelson What browser are you using to register OpenCalais? I think it is an issue with the plugin provider, but want to rule it out.
