The title may be a stretch, but I thought it was time to start writing about the things that matter to me most as a technology professional. For those that don’t know me, I work for Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, have been with them for almost 7 years, and have spent most of that time working on all things identity related. I work in the Membership group, responsible for Yahoo’s account, registration, and authentication systems.
We’re the team that makes it possible for hundreds of millions of people to sign up for Yahoo accounts, to be able to log back into them when they want to, and to maintain core account information when they feel inclined to do so.
With the advent of so much cutting edge technology I felt as if I was missing an opportunity to a) convey some of the cool things we’re working on at Yahoo and b) force myself to be more engaged with the identity community at large.
So here it is. We’ll see where it goes.
