Brian T. Email & Phone Number

Very experienced Hardware and software developer (since 1978) first in telecoms hardware and later in systems software development.Specialising in Microsoft platforms, particularly Azure, SQL Server and the .Net frameworkVarious Microsoft certifications in software development, and "out-of-band" abilities for systems design, making use of my varied background in hardware and software. Implementation of Web and Worker roles in Azure. The cloud is a tremendous resource, allowing almost infinite scalability and resilience, but obviously everyone has concerns that "their data" - normally data relating to customers... will be seen by everyone. The trick is to seamlessly and transparently allow authorised access, ideally in granular fashion, not binary "Yes / No", while denying unauthorised access. The three tenets of identity: Identification: we all have multiple online personae, do we need to create yet another "identity silo"?Authentication: you claim to be Joe - prove it.Authorisation: Ok Joe, this is what you can see and do.Historically every new site / application has implemented its own user management system, often badly, as an industry we need to upgrade these legacy "homebrew" authentication methods into claims-based protocols and schemes like SAML & OAuth. Not everyone is, or wants to be, an IT expert - and offering Fibre broadband to the average home user is like handing a child a loaded Glock. All IT professionals need to think security, stability and ethics. They trust us.Apparently what I've been doing the past 30+ years is now state of the art - its called DevOps. Who would have thought..

Listed skills include .Net, Microsoft Sql Server, Software Development, Web Services, and 45 others.
