Michael
Wynholds
Growing up in the heart of Silicon Valley, Michael Wynholds was no stranger
to the high tech explosion. After graduating from UCLA with a CS degree in
1996, Mike embarked on a 3-year stint as a release engineer at Netscape
Communications, just after it's epic rise to stardom and just before it's
less epic fall to mediocrity. Upon leaving Netscape and after a few months
of independent contracting as a Perl programmer, Mike took a software
engineering position at Sparks.com, where he spent almost two years
architecting and implementing a J2EE-based web application. Among foci at
Sparks were writing an XML/XSLT processing engine and a servlet session
clustering mechanism sitting on top of a WebLogic deployment. Currently,
Mike has co-founded an enterprise software consulting firm called Carbonfive
with four other Sparks emigrants, and is focusing again on J2EE and XML
based systems. He has spoken at JavaOne and contributed to articles for
CNET | Builder.com.
