I just recorded a podcast with Eugene Kuznetsov, IBM Director of SOA Appliances, about the acquisition of the company he founded, DataPower, a year ago.
About Eugene Kuznetsov:
Kuznetsov founded DataPower Technology, Inc. in 1999 to provide enterprises with an intelligent, XML-aware network infrastructure to support next-generation applications. DataPower was acquired by IBM in October 2005. In his new role as an IBM Director of SOA Appliances, Eugene is responsible for overseeing the product development and strategy of the DataPower offerings as part of IBM's SOA portfolio of software and security appliances.Prior to starting DataPower, Kuznetsov led the Java JIT Compiler effort for Microsoft Internet Explorer for Macintosh 4.0. He was also part of the team which developed one of the first clean room Java VM's. This high-speed runtime technology was licensed by some of the industry's largest technology companies, including Apple Computer. He has consulted to numerous companies and worked on a variety of hardware and software engineering problems in the areas of memory management, power electronics, optimized execution engines and application integration. Kuznetsov holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from MIT.
