Formerly the Regional Developer Adviser (DPE) for Microsoft MEA (Middle East and Africa), I was responsible for 85 countries spanning 4 continents and crossing 10 time zones. Now I am a Microsoft MVP and a Microsoft Regional Director covering Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia and a professional speaker at popular developer conferences worldwide.
I was once introduced as having "mastered more languages than a United Nations translator." I am the author of the book Indy in Depth and have contributed to several other books on network communications and general programming.
I write regularly for the Software Developer Network Magazine (Dutch), and occasionally for other magazines. I am an expatriate who travels extensively year round and am currently based in Estonia. I have also lived in Canada, Cyprus, Jordan, Russia, Turkey, and the United States.
In total I have visited more than 50 countries, visiting most of them many times.
For further information including why I am called Kudzu, please refer to my more personal bio at www.KudzuWorld.com.
