I currently work at Sony Online Entertainment, as a programmer on EverQuest Next. I'm a "kitchen sink" programmer at the moment, working on just about everything at one point or another. No, I can't answer any questions you might have. Certainly not before SOELive 2013, and quite possibly not afterwards.

Prior to working at SOE, I was a programmer working in Java/C++.

I used to be a PDF specialist (for far too many years), but had been broadening my horizons. None the less, I'm a committer on iText, though possibly the least active one for quite some time. I also worked with Eclipse for a couple years, and have some small experience developing plugins for it.
