BlueDragon - Java CFML engine
BlueDragon is a Java JEE engine that supports and renders the Allaire/Adobe CFML web scripting language. Built from the ground up, BlueDragon went onto power the largest CFML website in the world and the largest social network at the time, MySpace.com.
The project was later ported to run on Microsoft’s .NET platform, offering the only .NET implementation for CFML and powering many US State Government installations.

The project was later ported to run on Microsoft’s .NET platform, offering the only .NET implementation for CFML and powering many US State Government installations.
In the later years, as interest in CFML began to diminish, all 600K lines of code was released under a GPL open source licence and gained a new lease of life driven by the community. I served as the original designer and architect before it was sold to a larger Java service provider. I continue to be involved in the open source project, OpenBD. -

STONEHAVEN, LLC
📣 This release of “The Playbook” highlights how STONEHAVEN, LLC’s operating system (BD infrastructure + tech + data) and collaboration ecosystem effectively tackles the challenges and seizes the opportunities relating to client reporting. ❌ Industry Challenge Many agents fail to provide clients regular reporting due to poor data tracking frameworks, challenges coordinating with colleagues or difficulty extracting data from informal spreadsheets and poorly designed CRMs. This lack of structured reporting leads to client neglect, friction and misunderstandings. ✅ Stonehaven Solution Our operating system includes a native reporting tool that allows agents to easily filter, analyze and report all types of sales data: pipelines, activity and transactions. Reports can be automated and distributed at any frequency, enhancing client collaboration and resulting in improved pitches, more effective objection handling and an optimized overall process. #stonehavenplaybook
