I'm proud to announce that I am now a Systems Architect for Broadchoice, Inc. I'm a direct report to Sean Corfield, and the (impressive) list of technical coworkers includes names like Raymond Camden and Nicolas Lierman. At CFUnited 2008, Sean and Ray took a group of us out to lunch - little did I know that the three hours there would pale in comparison to the duration of the full interview, which consisted of attending the Broadchoice Global Developer Meetup '08. Ending my independent consultancy through Firemoss was a hard decision to make, but Broadchoice made an offer I couldn't refuse, offering my a position where I'll be:

  1. Working with an engineering team that's second to none in the ColdFusion community
  2. Working for a management team and board of directors including the likes of Sergio Zyman and Larry Blair
  3. Designing and implementing a game-changing product in the world of marketing
  4. Exploring new integrations of ColdFusion with Java and open-source Java frameworks
  5. Having a ton of fun.

My initial project will be working with Nicolas to produce a behavior analytics and modelling RIA. It's going to be a challenge, as I'll have to tool the existing Transfer / ColdSpring / Model-Glue applications to record user events while simultaneously providing a high-performance service tier that will feed the (destined to be beautifully designed) RIA that Nicolas will be implementing.

Congrats on the opportunity Joe! Definately a quality team they have established.

I've used the BroadChoice application and it is quite nifty and fits a sizable niche in the market place. Much good wishes to you and the BC team.

Joe- I was a coldfusion developer at Marketron working for Mike Jackson developing the http://www.webavails.com site and various other apps.

He was a dynamic leader and an innovator, you guys are destined to change the world!

@Doug, small world - yeah, Mike is awesome!

@Jason, we're deeply entrenched in Model-Glue so we're definitely going to support Joe's continued work on the framework (and all the conference speaking and other community work he does - just as we do for myself, Ray and Nicolas!).

Congrats and I just wanted to add a minor note. On the broadchoice website - at the page:

http://www.broadchoice.com/about_us/management_team/

The link back to your site is broken - they forgot the http:// when they entered it.
