I am Chris Custine and for around 10 years I have been developing software for large corporate entities primarily in the Financial Services world. Most of the software I have developed has been related to Investment Services and Credit products accounts and transactions. Not exactly glamorous work to be sure, but there has never been a lack of challenge due to the complicated nature of both the technology and the nature of the people and politics in ultra large corporations.

I am a commiter on the Apache Directory project which is a 100% Java LDAP directory server.
