John Mcgowan is a CEO at Mathematical Software. He possess expertise in c++, c, software development, algorithms, python and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "John McGowan and I collaborated on a mobile imaging application while he was a visiting scholar at HP Labs. John prototyped and tested a series of novel algorithms and technologies using C++ and OpenCV. He quickly came up to speed on the project and independently developed a number of important extensions and refinements to the research effort. He is focused, thorough and great to work with. I recommend John and his programming and research skills." and "I am happy to write this recommendation for John McGowan. I first met John when he was a graduate student working on his Ph.D. thesis in experimental high-energy physics at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. For a while we worked on the same experiment. John is a very sharp person technically. He pays attention both to detail and to the overall picture on large projects. John takes initiative and invariably investigates details that others would often overlook until he is satisfied they either don't affect the project or finds a solution. Based on my experience with John's work, I highly recommend him for any position that requires technical, software, or mathematical skills. I would also consider him to be a good candidate for any position that needs to address a bigger picture--that is, what directions to go in, what sorts of things might come up that could be detrimental to the project or longer-range plans. In summary, John is both highly technically competent and able to keep in mind the bigger picture and change directions or organize resources to address upcoming needs or changes in the situation.
