As anybody who works with me will tell you, I'm a big fan of Corillian.  Our online banking system at Commerce is built on their platform, and much of my life revolves around that platform and its accompanying development tools.  I'm especially a fan of Corillian's Chief Software Architect, Scott Hanselman, but at a recent conference I got to chat with another highly-respected architect at Corillian, Patrick Cauldwell.

Patrick has been working on a project using a security architecture called AzMan.  When he recently had difficulty navigating a technical hurdle, I made a suggestion that Patrick ultimately used as a basis for resolving the issue.

I couldn't be happier that, in some small way, I got to influence the design of a product that I will likely be using every day.  How often does one get to say that?

Thank you for giving me that opportunity, Patrick!
