Summary
Throughout my career I have used a number of object-oriented languages, both imperative and functional. As such, I have a solid grounding in the concepts and theory of programming. To balance that, my experience in business software has forced me to be eminently practical – I don’t allow theory to get in the way of finishing the job.
Over the past four years I have designed and implemented various large projects that I feel illustrate my programming ability. Some, including a context-sensitive search engine, required research and complex algorithm development. Previously, my research in the field of wearable computers prompted NASA to invite me as a domain expert to consult on one of their projects. More recently, my interest in music has influenced my programming, so I have written a cross-platform audio API for the Eiffel programming language (for which no audio support was previously available).
In addition, for the last three years I have employed agile development methods, such as test-first development and pair programming, in every project I have been involved with. I have found these methods to increase the clarity and reliability of the final product, as well as lower the cost of change (I have yet to work on a project where the requirements haven’t changed).
