Sean Martin, Chief Technology Officer, Cambridge Semantics
Sean Martin is an award-winning technologist and has been on the leading edge of internet technology innovation since the early 1990s. His greatest strength has been the identification and pioneering of next generation software and networking technologies and techniques. Prior to founding Cambridge Semantics, he spent 15 years with IBM Corporation, where he was a founder and the technology visionary for the IBM Advanced Internet Technology Skunkworks group. Sean has an astonishing number of internet “firsts” to his credit. These include inventing and implementing both IBM’s first web application server and content-manager, WOM, and its distributed web application hosting environment, the Womplex – not to mention a number of other important web site scaling and load balancing technologies.
Sean was a pioneer in defining SOA. It was under his direction that Sash included IBM’s first ever web Service SOAP and XML-RPC client stacks and associated developer tooling. He led the first effort to use XMPP for asynchronous web services. Sean has written numerous patents and has authored a number of peer reviewed life sciences journal articles.
