George Reese

I am the CTO of enStratus Networks (http://www.enstratus.com), the leading cloud infrastructure management vendor for enterprise clouds. Based in Minneapolis, MN, I co-founded enStratus as a spin-off from a company in the middle of moving into the cloud, Valtira. I was the primary architect of the enStratus software as well as the Open Source cloud abstraction API for Java, Dasein Cloud (http://dasein-cloud.sf.net).

My professional career began in Hollywood working on TV shows like the People's Court and ESPN Up Close, but my "Internet Career" started in 1991 developing Open Source online gaming software, specifically the Nightmare and Dead Souls mud libraries. I got involved with Java in 1995 and wrote my first book, Database Programming with JDBC and Java in 1996.
