Curriculum Vitae

Background

Over twenty years of broad software design and development experience, particular experience with handwriting recognition, graphical user interfaces, and distributed information systems.

Work Experience

1993 to 1996 Papyrus Associates Sophia Antipolis, France; Co-founder and Technical Director

I co-founded a software company specializing in computer handwriting recognition. I was key in the design and development of the software and, as a director, active in all aspects of running the company.  Papyrus Associates was bought by the Fonix Corporation.

1977 to 1993 Digital Equipment Corporation Principal Software Engineer

(1977-78 Reading, England; 1978-79 Auckland, New Zealand; 1979-81 Reading, England; 1981-85 Nashua, New Hampshire, USA; 1985-93 Sophia Antipolis, France).  Digital Equipment is now owned by Hewlett-Packard.

As a senior and experienced software engineer I was responsible for the specification, design, development, and quality of world-market software products and their delivery in a timely manner. The skills I have acquired and utilised to achieve these goals are:

Examples of Achievements

I was the designer and principal developer of the user interface for an innovative application for Microsoft Windows and OSF Motif which allows users to transparently access and visualise information from a wide variety of sources, while giving the illusion that the information resides in a single, consistent, distributed repository.

I was the technical lead and user interface designer and developer for an X-Windows calendar utility. The calendar was both released as part of DIGITAL's "DECwindows" product and integrated into DIGITAL's time and project management product, "DECplan".

I researched and prototyped solutions for the problem of mixed direction text editing for a Hebrew version of DIGITAL's word processing system, "WPSplus". The knowledge and prototypes were taken by the development group and used to produce the final product.

I was responsible for the running and publication of a network-based daily newspaper focusing on British and international news, US and world financial information, and computer industry and high technology reporting. I designed and developed software for the automation of the newspaper, including for its dissemination by both electronic mail and bulletin board, as well as running the day-to-day service. The daily readership was approximately thirteen thousand worldwide.

1973 to 1977 Time Sharing Ltd London, England; Systems Software Engineer

I started at TSL as an operator and quickly graduated to the software engineering department after simplifying and automating a lot of the operating procedures. I played a primary role in the technical integration of TSL's systems with those of a newly acquired system company in Michigan, allowing the companies to provide US/European wide communcations and time sharing services.
