Currently between jobs.

Was at Titan Systems Corporation in Billerica, MA writing software which supports air traffic management from 2002 to 2005, but "the President would rather go to Mars than go to Cleveland" so the NASA contracts were cancelled, and with no project, so was my employment.

Did some consultation for Cyborhoods before Titan. This startup uses VRML to arrange web site lists (such as those returned by a search query) which have been arranged by its engine into clusters of related sites.


Before that I spent an interesting year at Flashpoint, Inc., which had just become a Bottomline Technologies company.

BBN Technologies I spent the summer of 1999 working for GTEI (formerly BBN, now known as Genuity or maybe the BBN Technologies part of Verizon) in a Speech Recognition and Natural Language group.

ATEX ® is a registered 
trademark of Atex Publishing Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atex 
Media Solutions, Inc.

I spent an enjoyable year (1998 to 1999) working at Atex Media Solutions, Inc. in Bedford, Massachusetts.
I followed John Bannick who had been my director at Jurisoft.

I got the old version of the logo (right) from co-worker Cliff Bryant.

Career:

Senior/Principal Software Engineer with extensive experience in applications programming in a variety of Unix and Windows environments.

Prior to joining Atex Media Solutions, Inc. I spent most of a year on a series of short assignments and contracts, including E-Travel in West Concord, Farsight in Kendall Square, and CSC on a contract for the Volpe Transportation Center.

Until summer 1997 I worked for what is now known as the Reed Elsevier Technology Group, a Reed Elsevier plc company, which in the past waspart of their Lexis-Nexis, and then known as Lexis-Nexis Information Technology, and prior to thatJurisoft, when they made desktop software for lawyers.
I built CompareRite, the instant redliner -- kind of a super diff(1) for word processor files. I worked in the gnarly comparison engine part of the code, the part with the comparison algorithms.
They were located at 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Mass 02139-3180. (Between Harvard and Central Squares, near The Plough & Stars and Barsamian's)

Prior to coming to Jurisoft in 1994 I was with Phoenix Technologies, Page Division (Cambridge Lab, now known as Xionics) for 3 years, emulating laser printers (HP/GL and font selection) and dot matrix printers. Ted Packard used to maintain aweb site about the Page Division but it doesn'tseem to be around any more.
