Summary

I am a PhD computer scientist and jack-of-all-trades programmer and

technical writer. As a programmer, I have 15+ years of experience in

compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools; my recent

experience has been with implementing C and C++, and I have

substantial background with Java, Lisp and functional languages. I am

a competent Unix system programmer and experienced Linux system

administrator. As a writer, I have produced software manuals and

technical reports as well as nontechnical articles on other

subjects. I'm looking for a fun job that involves implementing and/or

writing about programming languages, runtime libraries, or other systems-level

software.

Employment HistoryResearch Programmer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

September 2004 - present.

Implemented and maintained parts of the Daikon invariant detector and

associated support programs for dynamic program analysis.

Software Engineer, Intel Corporation, March 2001 - April 2004.

Provided continuing support and development for the CCC compiler

technology, including integration with the EDG C/C++ front end;

bug fixing and performance tuning of all parts of the compiler

infrastructure using the Plum-Hall and Nullstone compiler test suites;

designing and implementing value range analysis and alias analysis;

and fixing customer-reported performance issues.

Software Engineer, Connected Components Corporation,

September 1997 - March 2001.

Wrote and debugged substantial parts of the Java, C, and C++ front ends

for CCC's suite of compilers. Also acted as the company's technical

writer. Set up and maintained a network of Linux boxes.

Note: CCC was acquired by Intel in March, 2001.

Research Programmer, Yale University, September 1991 - May 1997.

Implemented pattern matching, optimization, and code generation phases

of the Yale Haskell compiler as well as runtime library support. Did

ports to various Lisp systems and implemented most of the Lisp

support used in the implementation (including a pretty printer and

compilation system) and wrote manuals and online documentation for the

project. Also involved with prototyping Java and web-based technology as

a vehicle for developing networked educational software, and implemented

a GUI for Haskell using Visual C++ on Windows NT.

Technical Writer, Free Software Foundation, May 1991 - August 1991.

Wrote reference manual for the GNU C Library, including documentation

for ANSI C and POSIX features.

Manager of Lisp Development, Chestnut Software, April 1990 - April 1991.

Designed and implemented various parts of Chestnut's Lisp-to-C

translator, including both the compiler (Lisp) and runtime (C)

portions of the system.

Research Assistant, University of Utah, June 1989 - March 1990.

Developed the evaluator, compiler front-end, and debugger for the

Utah Common Lisp and Utah Scheme systems. As part of the same

research group, I also worked on the implementation of the PSL/PCLS

Lisp system, built another experimental Lisp system, and did some

support work for the REDUCE symbolic algebra package.

Software Engineer, Evans & Sutherland, June 1983 - July 1988.

Developed programming tools for E&S's graphics terminals and

workstations, including graphical editors for data structures and a

dataflow programming language, and interpreters and translators for

graphics command languages. Also participated in research in curve

and surface rendering.

Professional ActivitiesMember of X3J13 (ANSI Common Lisp standards group), 1987 - 1993

I was chair of the compiler subcommittee, and made substantial editorial

and administrative contributions to the committee's work.

Personal

I cannot relocate at this time; I'm primarily looking for a telecommuting

situation, which has worked well for me in the past.
