I'm a software architect/consultant in Boulder, Colorado. I started blogging at: http://wayne-adams.blogspot.com/, but have since started the new blog, Data Sceintist in Training which will cover the areas I am learning as part of my own "big data" training, including the Hadoop family, frameworks like OpenStack, the R programming language, column-oriented databases and the art of examining data sets for useful patterns. The original blog will be kept alive with Java-specific posts.
