Mikkel Hippe Brun’s Summary

I have been self employed most of my career. I was co-founder of a software development company specializing in SGML and XML database publishing techniques. I taught some of the earliest courses on XML and XSLT and have designed and implemented several advanced XML and SGML transformation solutions. I have also participated in a number of development projects as a programmer (what a wonderful time) but later ended up as project leader and Chief Technology Officer. I worked for one year as an independent consultant on XML-technologies to the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation prior to my current job. I got employed at the Danish National IT- and Telecom Agency after a 6 months sabbatical, where I travelled around the world with my wife and 3 children. I quickly became responsible for standards development related to a new invoicing law which was enacted in 2005. This initiative put Denmark on the lading edge of electronic invoicing worldwide. We exchange 1.25 million invoices every month! I have been working with building a SOA infrastructure to support e-procurement since early 2005. This initiative will put us on the leading edge again in 2008 and 2009. Eat your heart out!

My goals are to make integration of public IT systems using XML and Service Oriented Architecture and Infrastructure a success.
