[[GE Talent Profile, James, New Media Technology]]

[[Tell us about yourself and what you do for GE]]

[Hi, I'm James and I lead New Media Technology for GE. ]

[For us, New Media Technology is taking things to the next level.]

[And one way we do that is through data visualization. ]

[So, instead of building traditional web applications]

[through Java and PHP, we build applications]

[that create compelling and engaging experiences for the user. ]

[We also build mobile applications for the Blackberry. ]

[We've been doing it for about 2 years. ]

[We have over 16 applications and a whole suite]

[for mobile management. ]

[We're focusing on the android next, and the iPhone. ]

[We do Enterprise search, so we power the search ]

[across the company, across their external and internal portals. ]

[We also focus on emerging technologies. ]

[So really understanding what's out there in the marketplace,]

[what the leading universities are working on, ]

[and what some of those global boutique firms are]

[producing that might be interesting and compelling ]

[ultimately for a GE product line. ]

[[What is it like to be in IT within GE?]]

[Being in IT and, specifically, ]

[technology within GE has just been]

[a tremendous opportunity.]

[GE's working on some of the most challenging and important projects]

[of our lifetime, and to have an opportunity to partake]

[in that is tremendous. ]

[But also, our colleagues are some of the most fun, smart, talented ]

[people that you could work alongside.]

[So to be able to have the opportunity to work on really engaging projects]

[with a fantastic team]

[is just amazing. ]

[[When you are not at GE, what are you up to?]]

[So, when I'm not at GE I love to research, ]

[learn about new things. ]

[I stay active, exercise, and travel. ]

[And just spend good, quality time with friends and family.]
