Many of my readers have been wondering what I have been doing the last 10 months. Now that the product has been announced,  I can tell you a little bit. I have been the Architect and Technical Lead for bcgi Mobile Guardian ™, a first-ever solution that gives carriers the ability to provide businesses and families the real-time, Web-based controls they need to manage wireless phone usage and expense among single or multiple users. (Yahoo press coverage here as well).

As a parent with children, I feel proud to have designed the architecture of a product that will help parents manage their children’s wireless phones balancing concerns safety, usage management and financial restraint; a product that will matter in the world.

I have worked with a unique and talented team, including Robert to deliver three versions of the product (1.0, 1.1 and 2.0) in a 10 month time frame. Please either come see the world
debut of the product at the CTIA show or look for the press coverage. I obviously cannot give technical details of the architecture other than to note that 2.0 is completely based on the .NET platform, written in C#, and utilizes advanced distributed features of .NET, presenting a visually appealing web experience for users through ASP.NET Web pages. Look for it at your carrier this year.

As my architectural and development work is done, I am moving on to other opportunities in the .NET arena while continuing a relationship with the wonderful folks at BCGI.
