Building infrastructure and analytics for data-driven organizations.
Principal @ Helping large and small organizations to capture, visualize, and understand the meaning hidden in the vast amounts of information available internally and externally. From June 2012 to Present (3 years 7 months) Contributor @ Clojure is an exciting new take on the Lisp family of languages developed by Rich Hickey supported by a group of gifted contributors. I have been proud to number myself among these contributors since the early days of the language.
I developed the Clojure's formatted printing utility (clojure.pprint) and automated documentation system (http://clojure.github.com/clojure). I have helped organize and host Bay Area Clojure user group meetings and spoken at the national Clojure-conj conference. From January 2009 to Present (7 years) Senior Technical Consultant @ I worked with the executive team and staff in engineering, marketing, and sales to help create and launch SpaceCurve's revolutionary peta-scale data platform for geospatial-temporal data.
My specific contributions included:
• Creating the company's market position and messaging with respect to complementary technologies, especially the Hadoop ecosystem,
• Consulting with the team to define product priorities during the company's go-to-market phase,
• Developing the product's high-performance, real-time communication and execution fabric, and
• Building a set of analysis tools to be sure that we were delivering on our promise of breakthrough performance. From June 2012 to May 2014 (2 years) Director of Engineering @ I led core system software development, integration, and partnership teams for 3VR's massively-distributed video collection and analysis platform used for security and video intelligence by Fortune 1000-level corporations in the US and world-wide.
I guided the platform architecture, API set, and loosely coupled distributed system model of the product from the earliest days of the company through multiple global deployments. From February 2005 to June 2012 (7 years 5 months) Independent Consultant @ Managed and implemented key projects for Certive Corporation (now Cloud 9 Analytics), Seascape Communications, the University of Michigan and SoftCare, EC. These covered such different industry areas as business intelligence, advanced home automation, media management, electronic data interchange and large-scale IT. From 2002 to 2004 (2 years) CTO and VP of Engineering @ LOBBY7 was started as a spin-out of the MIT Media Lab. I was recruited to help focus the product strategy and execution of the company. I led the product definition around multimodal computing (mobile computing that combines speech and data) and architected the multimodal platform. I managed the 15 person engineering team. In my role of defining technology partnerships, I won customers such as Orange (the UK’s second largest mobile provider) and SpeechWorks. From March 2001 to November 2001 (9 months) VP, Media Technology @ I was the technology member of the management team that created Innoventry’s first spin-out company, Impli media. Impli deployed a nation-wide network of place-based rich media screens. From January 1999 to October 2000 (1 year 10 months) CTO @ I led the technology group of this Norwegian startup developing and releasing the first version of its service, www.everybody.net, a global white pages for the web and mobile phones. From June 1999 to November 1999 (6 months) President, CTO, and Founder @ I founded (with one partner) a startup to build immersive client-server graphics for enterprise computing. Led the company through prototype and pilot customer acquisition. From January 1997 to January 1999 (2 years 1 month) Director, Software Products Group @ I created, staffed and led the software products operation at NeTpower through its first two product releases. The group built object-oriented graphics and distributed computing software for Windows NT systems. From February 1993 to October 1994 (1 year 9 months) Chief Scientist @ I was one of two partners to build Marble’s west coast consulting practice from nothing to $5 million per year without outside funding. The practice originally focused on technical and scientific computing but evolved though partnerships with larger consulting firms to focus on using new technologies in support of business process reengineering. From October 1989 to November 1991 (2 years 2 months) Senior Member of the Technical Staff @ I was lead engineer on the team that created the Application Visualization System (AVS), the standard 3D scientific visualization product. Prior to that, I was the lead engineer for networking and participated in multi-processor operating system development for the Stellar graphics supercomputer. From February 1987 to October 1989 (2 years 9 months) Senior Staff Software Engineer @ I was a lead engineer for Unix operating system implementation on its line of workstations and small timesharing machines. I was heavily involved in the early development of the Internet culminating with the design and implementation of STREAMS TCP/IP. This was adopted by AT&T as the standard TCP/IP implementation in Unix System V R3 and still used in many Unix implementations today. From June 1983 to February 1987 (3 years 9 months) Software Engineer @ I developed custom operating system and application code for large automotive aftermarket warehouses. From June 1980 to June 1983 (3 years 1 month)
