Worked in a small team developing software to do final manufacturing testing of devices that receive, transform, and transmit video streams. Worked in Python 3 on a Windows platform. Introduced various improvements to the structure of existing code. VSCode for development, Jenkins for automated testing.

Python and Pyramid for design and implementation of RESTful API. PostgreSQL and EC2 on AWS. Linux.Doing research and system design and development for Tellspec Inc. That covers mostly backend API and DB architecture and development, in the cloud and on our own machines. I created the first few versions of the backend, using Pyramid and Python to make a RESTful API using JSON, running on Linux machines and PostgreSQL in AWS.I am also involved in many other aspects of the business, including UI design, lab procedures, dev-ops, hardware design and configuration, and data analysis.Tellspec is a data company that provides artificial intelligence analysis of food. We combine NIR spectroscopy, bioinformatics techniques, and machine learning to analyze foods at the molecular level.

Objective-C, updating an existing iOS on iPad app.A part-time project. Finished implementation of ASE, a "dashboard for the human body" on iPad, and submitted it to the Apple App Store. Have suspended designing and implementing its successor, MHD.

Design and implementation of first versions of C++ server to distribute work over many machines. XML data, MySQL DB. Linux.Design and implementation of C++ library for using image-matching algorithms. Pure-C wrapper for third-party use.Design and implementation of Java application to test image-matching algorithms.Developed EspionServer, the multi-threaded, stateless server behind all of Idée image-search products and services. It provides the framework for the implementation of our image-search algorithms. C++, XML.Developed an extensible client with GUI to use EspionServer. Java.Reimplemented EspionServer as a library, with a C++ API for in-house use, an object library, and a pure C API for clients. Calling software has full control over persistent storage without needing knowledge of its structure.Created Perl scripts to give third-party developers easy command-line access to EspionServer’s functionality.Created a distributed, multi-threaded Web crawler for tineye.com, using Python and Amazon Web Services. Readily scalable by adding machines.Ported tineye.com crawler and exporter from EC2 to in-house machines, replacing use of AWS components with our own systems.Created and documented procedure and software for exporting crawl data to tineye.com. Python, bash, AWS, PostgreSQL.Responsible for design and implementation of workflow automation for PixID, Idée’s image monitoring service.Responsible for PixID job scheduler, running mission-critical jobs on a cluster of 200+ machines. Originally Perl, later Python on multiple in-house machines. Uses PHP and MySQL.

Analyzed and reviewed third-party software and system designs for clients, and presented critiques to the clients.Researched and tested .NET, SOAP, XML, and C# for use in-house and by clients.

Designed and implemented a C++ GUI and API for image selection and display in Classic Mac OS.Created a Java servlet (JSP) for searching stock-photo sites.Designed and developed GUI and API for an application for compositing graphic images. It maintained an edit history so that higher-resolution composites could be generated automatically. C++, Classic Mac OS. Java servlet, plus plug-ins for major professional graphics applications.

Designed and implemented a Classic Mac OS GUI client for a Unix-based Yellow Pages typesetting system. It was used to edit page layout settings and preview completed pages.Designed and implemented a dongle-based security library for Unix server software.

Researched and developed a virtual-reality display on Macintosh. It used pre-generated high-quality renderings of 3-D models to create and navigate an animated world. Originally C and Mac OS graphics library. Moved to Java for portability to Windows.

Performed the ground-up system analysis, design, and framework implementation for Airs, a distributed text-based information retrieval system. C++, various Unix.Used Airs to implement a source-code-control system.

Designed the GUI and system for a 3-D modelling, animation, and video application, called Impact!.Produced a low-level library for printing rendered 3-D models sending raster or vector data as appropriate. Integrated it with screen graphics in the Sketch! application. C++, Classic Mac OS.

Added features to a chip-fab control system. Fortran.Co-developed factoryTop, a front-end to the PROMIS semiconductor manufacturing control system. It gave users an editable graphical view of factory layout and production data that was otherwise only accessible through a command-line interface. HyperCard on Macintosh.

Co-developed the MacTeX typesetting application. It did high-quality technical typesetting. Object Pascal, Classic Mac OS.Created specialized typesetting applications for clients. TeX.

Designed and implemented software and hardware for a wide variety of projects. Used Fortran, Basic, Assembler. Mainframes, minicomputers, microprocessors.
