About the Author

Joe McIntyre is a software architect and computing enthusiast, with over 25 years of experience designing and building software products for the computing, telecommunications and utility industries.

As Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM and architecture leader for the Communications Sector industry frameworks architecture team, he led the definition of the Cloud Service Provider architecture for the IBM Cloud Computing Reference Architecture.

Joe was a leading contributor, and leader in many of the standards activities for integration of the Web and telecommunications networks published through Web Services for ETSI, 3GPP, and OMA.

His interest in JSON Schema stems from a history of work projects that included data definition, code generation, and configuration management. As JSON emerged as a commonly used data representation, and its use in messaging and data storage increased, the value of applying data definition and validation to JSON work activities drove initial interest. Having found JSON Schema to have high practical value, this work emerged.
