I write about upcoming, new, and existing technologies and/or products mainly related to Cloud and End User computing. I do product reviews, cover announcements and conferences. Moreover, I just like to share my IT related thoughts in general.

Meanwhile, I have written over 300 tech articles (platforms include: TechTarget (birnamadden.com), MyCUGC, Intense School, Salomon, Liquidware, Detron, Computable, Come Get IT) and have spoken at various national and international events across the Globe.
