Designing/writing software to control digital microfluidics systems. (No, I didn't know what they were, either.)

Design, architect, and build systems. Invent algorithms. Figure out how to do things that nobody's done before and how to do other things better. Consult. Transfer. Patent. Occasionally publish. Break and psychoanalyze compilers.My last projects were focused on what HPE calls "Memory-Driven Computing": computing in the face of enormous amounts of fast random-access non-volatile memory shared among a large number of processing nodes. I led the effort to develop the Managed Data Structures library, which provided safe, transactional, fault-tolerant in-place use of non-volatile data shared between processes written in different languages, as well as the Multi-Process Garbage Collector, the first garbage collector designed for heaps shared between processes, which was also on-the-fly, fault-tolerant, and (nearly) lock-free.Prior projects focused on measurement systems, distributed middleware, quality-of-service negotiation, genetic programming, classification, clustering, text processing, deduplicating backup systems, interactive data mining, personalization, economic forecasting, recommendation, patient safety dashboards for hospitals, and other things I've forgotten.

Review invention disclosures for lab (20-80 people), make filing recommendations, assist in managing patent portfolio, review office actions, and recommend response strategy.

Built system to aid linguists in developing and testing syntactic models.
