No, a developer, but very influential with management, and with way too many years as a software developer under his belt to be coming up with harebrained proposals like this. A very nice guy, BTW, and very good at persuading people. Certainly far better than yours truly, who is prone to go into orbit and self-combust upon learning of such schemes.
