Alex Moffat, Lombardi Engineering Manager

Alex Moffat is the Engineering Manager for Lombardi Software's Blueprint product and has presented about real world GWT experiences at JavaOne and Google IO.

He's worked for both customers of enterprise software and makers of enterprise software starting back in the days of IBM 3270s, JCL and MVS. Along the way he's learnt that customers and vendors can have very different perceptions of the same product.

He first started programming in Java back in the Beta 1.0 days but only started to get paid for it when he joined Lombardi in 1999. Since then he's worked on all sorts of different pieces of software but is really enjoying the challenges of Web 2.0 on IE 6.0. Without GWT it wouldn't be a quarter as much fun.
