Major focus is system software in Windows

After my start in application level software, I began in 1990 to focus on system software in the undocumented and less-documented areas of Microsoft's operating systems. Often this has meant that I have used device driver toolkits to deal with non-device-related issues (e.g. filesystems, storage drivers, and network stacks).

I keep contact with the "real world" of end-users and system administrators by doing the hardware and software support for my own networks of 12+ nodes, and by hosting some Web sites for nonprofit organizations.
