PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT

Foobar Technologies - Softwareville, CA -- 1/85 - Present

Principal Engineer
Senior technical member of the company's R&D laboratory. Currently responsible for the architecture and implementation of a source-level C++ (AT&T 2.1) debugger for Sun SPARCstations under SunOS (UNIX).

Major Accomplishments

C++ Debugger (6/90 - Present):
As architect and chief implementor for the C++ debugger, have day-to-day responsibility for all major architectural decisions for the debugger. Along with three other full time engineers, two consultants, and a writer, have brought the C++ debugger from initial concept up through delivery to customers. We are the first full symbolic debugger for C++ available on SUN platforms, and the only debugger on any platform to fully support all features of C++ in the debugging of production programs. Results: The debugger has succeeded in demonstrating the viability of independent window and command line user interfaces to the same debugger, without having to resort to such clumsy artifices as a window "veneer" over a simple command line interface. It is written entirely in C++ and is portable across a wide range of C++ dialects, hardware platforms, and versions of UNIX. Our use of object-oriented design has allowed us to keep the implementation very easy to maintain, without sacrificing functionality. We set out to make the debugger hardware architecture independent, operating system independent, and user-interface independent. As a result of our work, SUN is in a position to offer a premier C++ program development environment on its systems, enhancing our CASE offering, facilitating porting of applications to and from our platforms, and leveraging engineering talent internally.

Xt Toolkit Intrinsics (2/88 - 6/90):
As architect and chief implementor of the Xt toolkit intrinsics for the X window system, responsible (with three other engineers) for the design, implementation, and delivery of the intrinsics to the MIT X Consortium. Personally responsible for much of the design of the Xt intrinsics, and the implementation of large parts of the library including event and translation management, and the resource manager, as well as the design most of the class and inheritance mechanism. Also personally ported and tested the intrinsics on IBM MVS after the initial implementation under SUN UNIX. We developed the Xt intrinsics on SUN UNIX using the PCC C compiler, Emacs, dbx, rcs, lint, and Saber-C. We worked closely with the groups developing the first implementations of the X window system server, and groups using the Xt intrinsics to develop the first widget sets. A significant challenge was the development of a portable classing mechanism in C. Results: The UNIX workstation industry has standardized on the Xt toolkit intrinsics we developed as the basis for graphical user interfaces for UNIX workstations. Motif, Open Look, and SunView all use the Xt intrinsics. As a result, the company's reputation as a provider of X window system platforms, and its workstation business has directly benefited. I was the first engineer in the company's UNIX organization ever promoted to Principal Engineer, a promotion that was a direct result of my work on the toolkit.

Other activities:
Conducting tutorials both at the X conference and inside the company on X toolkit programming and writing X widgets. Currently a member of X/Open's User Interface working group, and the X/Open Technical Committee on Graphical User Interfaces. Was also active in the X consortium.

Earlier work at Foobar involved porting UNIX to a RISC machine.

ENGINEERS-R-US INC. - Disk City, CA -- 1/83 - 12/84

Senior Member of the Technical Staff
Senior engineer in the Workstation Group of the company's Systems Development Division. Was responsible for the symbolic debugger.

Major Accomplishments

Symbolic Debugger (1/83 - 12/84):
While personally maintaining and enhancing the existing the symbolic language debugger, completed a design and began to implement a significant revision that would allow the debugger to cleanly debug multi-threaded applications running on 68030 UNIX workstations. The technical challenge was to allow the debugger to be simultaneously debugging multiple threads, each running asynchronously, while presenting a single user interface to the user. This design required an internally multi-threaded architecture, and to allow the user to interactively make arbitrary calls into a running program required extremely careful design. Used the workstation's language (a predecessor to Modula-2) and workstations for my work. Results: Debugging multi-threaded applications is often an arcane art. Bugs are often obscure and unrepeatable. This debugger for multi-threaded applications significantly reduced the amount of time needed to develop good multi-threaded applications.

Reason for leaving: Most of the Workstation Group left at the same time to form a new company. I was one of those founding members.

EIEIO TECHNOLOGIES - Capslock, TX -- 3/82 - 1/83

Consultant
Hired as a consultant to implement a Pascal/Assembly language debugger for a new microcomputer. Had full design and implementation responsibility for this debugger, and worked closely with my client's employees working on the operating system, as well as other outside contractors implementing the Pascal compiler.

Reason for leaving: Contract complete.

BLAZING COMPUTERS, INC. - Capslock, TX -- 6/80 - 2/82

Principal Engineer
Responsible for design and implementation of the Pascal compiler for a new VAX/VMS-like timesharing super-minicomputer.

Was a member of the ANSI Pascal standards committee, and the ISO International Pascal Experts Committee.

SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYMENT

S. Software Wizard CONSULTING - Anytown, CA -- 9/79 - Present

Owner of a small sideline software consulting business. Designed and implemented a small and fast parser generator for LR(k) grammars (Syntax/Semantics Language), a grammar analyzer for Extended Backus-Naur Form language specifications, and a disassembler for the Motorola MC68000 on a DEC PDP-11 under UNIX V7, all in S/SL and C on the Apple Macintosh.
