Hugo Haas’s Summary
I am a Chief Architect at Yahoo! in charge of Yahoo! Media (News, Finance, Sports, Music, Movies, etc.). I'm interested in the Web and its technologies: I like connecting things to make people's lives easier.
Prior to this, I was a Web services architect at Yahoo!, designing tools and providing vision for HTTP-based services as well as SOAP-ones.
Prior to joining Yahoo!, I was part of the W3C technical team. I worked on SOAP Web services (SOAP 1.2, WSDL 2.0, WS-Addressing 1.0, architecture, etc.) since September 2000 and have been an open source advocate since 1996.
