About

Nullsession.com is authored by Joachim Nässlander.

I’ve spent over ten years in the IT industry. Most of that time has been spent as a consultant for various companies. I work as a Solution Architect at Dell where I’m responsible for the areas Microsoft Infrastructure and End User Computing. That basically gives me every box it says Microsoft on… In my role I do some consulting outside the office and then I help our sales with solutions for our customers.

Over the years I’ve participated in several Microsoft Technology Adoption Programs. Some of these are “Longhorn”, Windows Vista, Hyper-V, SCVMM, Stirling and Windows Server 2008 R2/Windows 7.
