I will be speaking at the The Cloud Computing Asia 2011 – An Executive Breakfast Briefing on 18th of August. For more details on the event please visit the event page here.

I will be presenting on "Architecting for the Public and the Private Cloud". In this talk I will cover some of the common architectural practices for building scalable services that can run on the public/private cloud. I hope its going to be an interesting discussion.

I will also be participating in a panel discussion on “Beyond Hype : Applications in the cloud”.

I have an exciting news to share with you all. I have joined Microsoft Singapore as an Architect Evangelist. Those who know me would testify on my passion for Architecture. I have written about it, I have presented on it at various conferences and more importantly in last 5-6 years I have spent a great deal of time working as System Architect, Solutions Architect and CTO at various organizations (including start-ups and fortune 500 companies).

Now, I am super excited to be working for Microsoft after being an MVP for 7+ years. I am also really glad to be working with smart people at Microsoft in general the Singapore SUB and DPE team in particular. I realize that this is an interesting time to be in this industry when the consumerization of IT is driving innovation, cloud is no longer a dream and its becoming reality, and enterprise (as well as business) architecture is (finally) gaining traction. I am very positive that this opportunity will give me a chance to work on things that I am really passionate about.

I have one more interesting news to share with you and i intend to blog about it in next couple of weeks. So stay tuned!

Wish me luck and expect much more (and hopefully exciting content and conversations) coming your way.

I will be presneting a talk on Visual Studio Architecture tools at Microsoft Singapore’s ALM Workshop on 22nd September, 2010. I believe this is not a public event so unfortunately I cant request you to join me for it.

I will be covering tools and features available in Visual Studio 2010 Utlimate eidition that allow developers and architects to

1- gain better understanding of existing code (and hence helping with improvements/enhancements),

2- design up front (for those who are lucky enough to work on green field projects)

3- and to check and validate continuously if the design == code

I am super excited as this topic is very close to my heart! I am hoping the audience will like it and I will be able to share the slides + demoes with you all.
