Ted M. Young

I'm a coding architect in the "Labs" group at Guidewire Software, a purveyor of software for medium-to-large Property & Casualty insurance companies (GEICO, SunCorp, The Hartford, etc.). APIs, both internal (between our applications) and external (used by our customers to integrate with their other systems) have become a sore point in that we both have far too many APIs, and they're all RPC-based, making them brittle and hard to use. We're looking at and experimenting with ways to use RESTful APIs as well as figure out how we might migrate to them (where they're found to be useful).

You can find me on Twitter and my blogs.
