Principal Software Engineer

Developed the Intersystems Caché distributed bulk loader, Caché SPARK connector, and Caché Python connector.

Software Developer

Streamlined the implementation of the two query languages built into SciDB. Designed a sophisticated memory management library and retrofitted this into the SciDB system. 

Implemented a distributed General Linear Model SciDB operator.

Principle Software Engineer, Language Specialist

Implemented the ‘MATLAB’ execution engine. MATLAB is a mature, multi-platform, computing environment used by scientists and engineers to perform complex calculations and simulations, and emphasizes powerful built-in support for multi-dimensional matrix algebra. Its new engine incorporates a state-of-the-art JIT compiler for what is, in essence, a dynamically typed functional programming language. 

Designed and implemented a powerful type system for the compiler’s internal language that includes support for both parametric polymorphism and ad-hoc function overloading, and am now retrofitting this into the compiler.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB.

Architected the ‘Mathcad’ calculation engine. Mathcad is used by scientists and engineers around the world to typeset and evaluate mathematically rich documents. The design centers upon a translation of the mathematics into the pure functional programming language ‘MPL’ which is then compiled to .NET machine code. 

Designed the ‘MPL’ programming language, a variant of Haskell and ML that is extended to support matrix algebra operations and the automatic inference of polymorphic dimension types, and developed an optimizing compiler for this language that targets the .NET platform.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathcad.

Prototyped the 3D graphics for ‘FreQ’, a multi-player music game that later became ‘Guitar Hero’, and co-designed the application infrastructure.
