About/Contact
Hi, I’m Dameon D. Welch-Abernathy, a.k.a. “PhoneBoy.”
The current version of my day job is at Nokia’s Software and Services division. Specifically, I work in the Product Line Support group in Security Support Services. Our group supports a number of enterprise security products like Check Point VPN-1, Nokia IP VPN, Sourcefire (a.k.a. Intrusion Prevention), and others. It’s about as far away from mobile phones as you can get while still working for Nokia.
Back in the day when I was actively supporting Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1, I wrote two books on the product. These days, I support other products in Nokia’s Security portfolio, though as keeper of the support Knowledge Base, I still read a lot about Check Point products.
On my blog, I write on the subjects of VoIP, Telecom, and Technology. Occasionally, I’ll talk about something Nokia does, though that’s obviously not the intent of this blog.
My primary goal in my writing is to make sense of these and other complex topics. I have a wife and two beautiful children, whom keep me grounded and focused on the important things in life, even if I geek out a lot in writing!
Disclaimer: Yes, I work for Nokia, but don’t confused the views expressed herein with those of Nokia or any other employer I’ve had or may have in the future. The views here may not even be mine.
Feel free to email me direct at dwelch AT phoneboy DOT com, contact me using Sitofono (calls you, then calls me directly), or connect to me with video via SightSpeed. (I had a contact form here, but removed it due to the amount of spam received)
