[edit] Basics
I am a moderately well known consultant and seminar leader in the field of Windows device drivers, debugging, and general kernel mode development. I've been working with Windows NT device drivers since the October '92 Driver Developer's Conference. During the first few years of my involvement I was a prolific contributor to the Windows NT device driver newsgroups, and those contributions later earned me an MS MVP award for a few years, but the consulting business has taken too much of my time lately to continue those efforts.
Prior to my interest in Windows NT I worked for many years in similar areas of DEC's VMS operating system. While working for a DEC IHV/ISV I was responsible for the device drivers for a line of intelligent programmable front-end communications interfaces... some of which I later learned were still in use in MicroVAXes in communications vans in Operation Desert Storm. I won several awards for various contributions to the DEC User's Society. Among other things, I was a member of a team that implemented a freeware uucp package for VMS ("DECUS uucp"), a few years before tcp/ip connectivity was easy to come by.
Before VMS I worked principally with HP's DOS-M and RTE-M operating systems. These ran on 16-bit minicomputers, the HP 2100 and 1000MX. I also put in some time on the HP 3000 under MPE.
I sometimes describe myself as a "frustrated EE": in school I was interested in electronics first (I go back to the 2N107 and 2N170), programming later. Although I'm by no means an up-to-date digital systems engineer, I do maintain a small bench, and I find a logic analyzer and 'scope are still valuable tools for driver debugging.
