I am a freelance software developer, using mostly
DelphiLanguage, with a bit of Java here and there. I also dabble in various aspects of
FunctionalProgramming. (I've even implemented
LazyEvaluation in a parser written in
DelphiLanguage--I was amazed at how much it simplified the task of parsing.) I serve as Chief Technology Officer for Fenestra Technologies Corporation (
http://www.fenestra.com/), a software development firm located just outside the beltway in Germantown, Maryland, USA.
I recently moved to Ohio (
http://www.state.oh.us/), after living in Oklahoma (
http://www.state.oh.us/) for eleven years.
I used to be a physics professor at Oklahoma State University (
http://www.okstate.edu/), but I eventually decided that the academic life was not for me. I now work at home. This gives me the decided advantage of not having to wear clothes while I work. This is especially beneficial during the summer. While I work at home, I sit in an
AeronChair.
I am interested in all aspects of software development, from methodologies (e.g.,
ExtremeProgramming) to
SoftwareConfigurationManagement to
ProgrammingLanguages. I still haven't found the time to sit down and learn Smalltalk.
My wife is a professor at Ohio University (
http://www.ohio.edu/), where she studies nervous system development and physiology in
Caenorhabditis elegans (
http://elegans.swmed.edu/), a common nematode that lives in the soil. It's used as a model organism to study basic physiological processes that are too complicated to study in more complex organisms.
When we're not working (which doesn't add up to much), we're usually birding (
http://www.americanbirding.org/).
