I've worked for Intel since late 2007 in the Software and Solutions Group as a graphics and gaming technical marketing manager in the Visual Computing software division. Previous to Intel I ran the Web3D Consortium for a few years focusing on driving industry standards for communicating 3D graphics on the web. Prior to that, I was a consultant for several years consulting in video and 3D, and in the 90's I was the media data formats standards expert (that'a mouthful!) at Apple. I love anything graphics and media related, particularly 3D graphics and in my next life I aspire to be eitiher a real engineer or a technical content artist.

...and just how do graphics software developers keep up with all the action going on today?
