Currently employed with Activerse writing Ding!

Education:
B.S. in Computer Science, University of Washington, 1986.

Currently Working In: Windows NT, Java, Visual Cafe.

Exceptional Strengths:
Designed and implemented over 500,000 lines of C, including:
10 years experience writing SGI graphics, including Skandha 1 to 4 (over 150,000 lines).
5 years experience writing virtual world servers (over 100,000 lines).
5 years experience writing optimizing compiler suites (over 100,000 lines).

Designed and implemented over 200,000 lines of Pascal, including:
SmallTalk bytecode virtual machine and parser.
Online Interactive Neutrino Event digitizing software.

Designed and implemented over 100,000 lines of Assembly Language, including:
386 native mode DOS extender.
Robot arm controller firmware.
Lisp interpreter.

Recent work:
Designed and implemented interactive firewall diagnostics in Java.
Designed and implemented instant messaging support (using TextView in Netscape IFC).

Other Skills:
Forth, Fortran, Emacs Lisp, XLisp, CommonLisp, Perl, Yacc, Unix shell, Unix system administration, various assembly languages including 8080, 386, etc., GE MRI/CAT file format and biomedical volume rendering, Internet programming with Berkeley sockets (TCP/IP and UDP), administration of kiloperson-scale virtual communities.

Public Interest Programming:
I wrote the first parsers for the artificial human language Loglan; one was Yacc-based, another was recursive descent. Other projects have included a text editor, text formatter, ANSI terminal emulator, modem communications program, assembler, two linkers, a logical constraint intepreter; non optimizing C compiler; logical-constraint compiler; a Forth-like object-oriented language with virtual memory, and the public domain bulletin-board system Citadel, which has since spawned dozens of variants, thousands of servers, and a store-and-forward network stretching from Washington to Texas.
