What was your first computer project and what was your role?
my first computer project was upgrading a large number of computers for one of my father's clients. I was the "doer".
What do you like most about working with technology every day?
The puzzles that technology provides and the satisfaction of solving complex problems.
besides being an IT architect / consultant, what other industry and employment appeals to you?
Wait ... there are other industries ?? I think I would be a design architect.
What is your favorite Citrix technology and why?
Hmmm ... this is hard. I have a love / hate relationship with XenApp, Citrix but if was to reduce their portfolio in a single product, this would be it.
What are the technical events you are eager to attend this year?
The CTP Summit and Geek Speak Live! Synergy Barcelona. If you talk about public-only event, so I think BriForum.
Who is your favorite DC Comics heroes and why?
This is hard ... I guess it's between Green Lantern (because it can create anything he can imagine) and Batman (proves you can be great if you just work hard).
What do you like better to be a Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) ?
networking with other CTPs. The technical content is high, but the relationships are invaluable.
What scientific (any field, past or present) do you most admire and why?
I guess Brian Greene. I understand how he takes complex concepts and make them simple.
This was the largest Citrix deployment you have architected / implemented, and what was the takeaway?
400 XenApp servers with 30,000 users. Takeaways:.? Scalability issues and seemingly insignificant numbers become significant scale

Yoda ... well duh! It is friggen Yoda !!!
