I've been a java developer since 1996, and a Cocoon user since version 1.0. I'm an avid reader of cocoon-dev, and I've been quite intimate with the Cocoon source code; I contributed patches to version 2.0.
I worked as a consultant for several years've worked at PC World Online, Hughes Space and Engineering, Amgen, and the ill-fated eToys. For the past three years I've been a technical lead at UCLA Medical Informatics, using Cocoon as the basis of an XML-based framework for secure data retrieval, management and integration.
