This is Rohan Jayasekera’s personal website. I live in Toronto, Canada and work at Tucows as Director, Tucows Email Service. The Tucows Email Service is available to ISPs, web hosting companies, and other service providers as a better alternative to having to run an email service themselves, with its requirements of very high reliability, effective spam and antivirus protection, and user demands for things like large mailboxes and a good webmail interface. I’ve been designing and developing online systems for many years. One notable role was co-founder of Sympatico, Canada’s largest Internet service (and most likely the world's first easy-to-use Internet service), and Sympatico.ca (now Sympatico.MSN.ca), Canada’s most popular Web portal (and most likely the world's first with a home page tailored to the user every time). Another was co-author of Deutsche Bank’s global risk control system, which monitors, authorizes and manages, in real time, over a trillion dollars of transactions each year for Europe’s largest bank – and is a key component in the protection of the global financial system. A few years ago I helped create a unique product, The Fitter, which will order a made-to-measure suit that usually fits perfectly with no alterations. (Yes, it’s Internet-based. All the computations are done by a website, the user interface is in Flash, and the order is emailed to the factory.) I’m very interested in “Web 2.0” and “cloud computing”, and write a blog on the subject: Rohan Jayasekera’s Thoughts on Web 2.0. |
