About the Author

Justin Smith works as a Technical Evangelist at Microsoft. Prior to joining Microsoft, Justin worked as an author, trainer, and consultant at Wintellect. As anyone who has taken one of his courses or worked with him as a consultant can tell you, Justin has a talent for taking complex ideas and distilling them into manageable language.

Justin became interested in software development toward the end of his engineering courses at Georgia Tech. Bridging the gap between engineering and software development, Justin’s first job out of Tech was as an implementation consultant with Parametric Technology Corporation. Justin later took a job with Engineering Animation Incorporated, where he developed custom UNIX and Windows CAD/CAM/CAE applications with C/C++ and Java. During his time in the CAD world, Justin built and integrated several applications (eVis, VisView, Pro/Intralink, and Pro/Engineer) that facilitated the design, testing, and manufacture of military and commercial aerospace components.

After EAI, Justin co-founded Lighthouse Business Solutions, a document management development and consulting firm. During his tenure at Lighthouse, Justin designed, built and integrated document management systems for more than 30 large corporations and distinguished himself as one of the premier document management experts in the country.
