Mr. Jason McGee

Instrumental in establishing IBM as the leader in cloud technologies, Java based application server middleware and application aware virtualization; he has been the chief architect for such well-known software as WebSphere eXtended Deployment, PureApplication System, IBM Workload Deployer and WebSphere Cloud Computing and the watershed Version 5 system design. He is the son of two career IBM employees and graduated with a Computer Engineering degree from Virginia Tech in 1995. He briefly worked at HP before joining IBM in 1997, becoming the lead architect on the team that developed the original WebSphere Application Server in 1998. His innovations in using application awareness have helped the application server move into the realm of virtualization and cloud computing. Those innovations are now being applied to expert integrated systems with his leadership of IBM PureApplication System. He will serve as technology ambassador to Egypt.
