GRUG Council Member Highlight: Jason
Steiner - RTP RUG
Jason Steiner has been using Rational
ClearCase for over 12 years. He's worked with
large financial firms as well as small
technology players to implement processes,
triggers and strategies for using the
ClearCase product effectively. His hands-on
expertise with ClearCase as well as
experience in a variety of different
development environments has led him to take
on a larger role that now includes software
development tooling and process guidance.
Jason has been a member of the Research
Triangle Park RUG for over four years and has
attended the Rational Users Conference for
many years. He is currently a sitting Vice
President on the Global Rational User Group
Council. A little known fact about Jason: he
won the grand prize in one of the first
ClearCase conferences for his savvy play in
the "Hollywood Squares" game that was
featured that year.
In his spare time, Jason enjoys playing with
his three children (Caroline, Joey and
Carson), travelling with his wife Roxsy and
umpiring little league baseball in the
Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.
Contact him at: jasonsteiner@bellsouth.net.
