I'm a senior software engineer with fifteen years software
development experience. Skills include application design and
development, OS performance analysis, mac toolbox, C/C++/java
programming, and web development. Former math junkie (B.A. Math,
Highest Honors,
Williams College).
Things I've done:
I was at Netscape from 1997 to 2003, and a member of Editor Group for Mozilla Development from its
inception in 1999 to present, where I was the principal author of the
editor core code that does the actual edit transformations (C++
mostly). This editor is used in text and html editing (both in
Mail and Composer) throughout the Mozilla browser and Netscape
6, 7, and beyond, on all mozilla platforms (windows, mac, linux,
os/2,
several unix's). This editor technology is also used in AOL
Communicator (review here)
and the Thunderbird
email client. Collectively these products have millions of
users and have won numerous
awards. I'm using the editor now (in Composer, part of Mozilla)
to write this.
Throughout my tenure at Netscape I've also made contributions to mac specific issues - things like tracking down and fixing mac-specific bugs, occassional help with the mac build system, and designing how to fix Netscape's home grown threading system to work on dual-cpu macs (that one was fun).
Before that I was at Apple, as an OS Performance Engineer, developing tools and methodologies for performance evaluation of the Copland OS, and even earlier I was working at Dartmouth on the DCIS software development staff as a macintosh applications developer, where I did DCIS Navigator, a kind of precursor to the web that let campus folks access a lot of electronic library resources, and DCIS ImageView, a helper program for Navigator that displayed graphics (GIF, TIFF, JPEG, and PICT). This was all done on top of a C++ application framework that I wrote, and also with a C++ exception package I wrote (back then mac C++ compilers didn't natively support exceptions).
