I bring my 53 years of developing & integrating software (27 years internationally) into delivering value for you & your stakeholders.Integrating cutting edge technology... w what delights human beings, builds business success, & promotes ecosystemic health.Bridging across silos.High Level & Low Level.FrontEnd & BackEnd.I'm a FullStack Agile Integration.

(+Advising venture & enterprise clients worldwide)In the 40+ years I've been paid for professional services, I've participated in a wide range of formats (scroll down (& click expandos as necessary) until you get to my 1975-1981 Princeton, Burroughs, MIT, & NASA bedrock, & then scroll back up here to see the progression).And I sure have done my share of.

Over 50,000 lifetime hours architecting & writing & debugging code. In other words, over the totality of my 53 year coding career (incl 49 year professional career, choosing to work well-over 2000hrs/yr because I love what I do, and thus already having passed the super-special 100,000-work-hour career milestone), I've kept a pretty even balance between the.

Amazing, but true: I first got hands-on in 1964, when I was 7 years old (keyboard = futuristic glass terminal connected to the just-introduced IBM 360 mainframe, featured at the IBM Pavilion at 1964-65 New York World's Fair which I attended 15 times, due to my father sponsoring/creating/managing the "Graphic Arts of the Future" automated.

I have been paid to present (keynotes, briefings, seminars, trainings) to professionals from Intel, IBM, Sun Microsystems, EDS, CSC, Barclays, One2One, Orange, Reach, Amdocs, Nokia, Comverse, Earth Island Institute, Friends of the Earth, Xerox, SGI, Compaq, Motorola, NASA, and hundreds of other organizations ranging from large environmental, financial.

My passion is Creative Technology for Healthy Ecology -- which means a core focus of mine is helping to converge and create synergies between information technology and renewable energy.... towards benefit for our community, climate, environment, and most generally Earth's entire ecosystem.Since my days working for NASA on supercomputer atmospheric models.

From my first paid project in 1975, I have completed over 200 engagements. My professional services client list includes NASA, Xerox, Disney, HP, Apple, Atari, EPA, D&B, CBS, Kodak, Epson, Fujitsu, Valtech, DBR, Elixir, InterBit, CSC, Stereographics, SGI, Cable & Wireless, Unisys, SoftwareAG, Conexant, Symantec, Bankers Trust, SunGard, CapitalOne, Apax.

Projects I personally coded, or were completed under my aegis, during 1975-2024 include:Sustainability (tracking/tracing environmental impacts throughout the supply chain and product lifecycle) Renewable Energy (accelerating legal and business processes for electric utility renewable energy generation adoption and grid connection) Solar Energy (integrated.

REGIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY ADVISORY COUNCIL (RREAC): official body of the government of the City of El Paso, providing expertise and recommendations to El Paso City Council on all matters related to renewable energy opportunity, strategy, economy, policy, and initiatives. El Paso, long known as "The Sun City", has more solar potential than any other major.

The El Paso Solar Energy Association for decades was the oldest continuously operating local renewable energy organization in the US.El Paso is #1 in insolation and solar potential of any city in the US.I've served as a board member and as Vice President. Previously I had been invited speaker multiple times.As VP, my activities ranged from IT planning to.

SGI licensed my geospatial ecological simulation/animation/gaming technology and sponsored my R&D (91-93) under their "Simulation & Visualization for the Environment" program.This led to me being brought to Maui (93-94) to head up the ecological simulation & animation R&D lab at a next-generation digital media studio aiming to create an "environmental.

My involvement with Apple spans:leading the team that developed and shipped one of the first 100 software titles (MasterType) for the Mac in 1984, which became a best seller in its category; leading the teams that created and marketed the first ever tablet product (PenMac, 1984-1989) for the Mac and planting the early seeds for the iPad vision; chairing.

Executive management of relations with clients and licensees including Apple, Atari, CBS, Disney, EPSON, Xerox, Kodak, Dun & Bradstreet, and dozens more large and small. Intensive ongoing B2B sales & sales leadership.Managed dozens of high-octane developers. Founded Softweaver as a professional technology services agency business -- backed by deep personal.

4SITE was a pioneering GIS-sector brand, producing and marketing tools to digitize maps & blueprints and to manage geospatial information for physical architecture, civil engineering, construction, real estate, electric & telco & water utilities, transport, logistics, forestry, oceanography, cartography, environment and infrastructure markets. 4SITE was.

During my supercomputer work in 1978, I had asked my NASA Ames clients: "how will human beings interact with such a powerful computer - will the weather simulation results be a tall stack of green and white numeric printout?" They funded & I carried out the 1980-81 study "Interactive Computer Graphics: The Human Interface to Dynamic Simulation" - a year.

CSC was the vehicle through which my project was structured with NASA. (Computer Sciences Corporation was a pioneering software-systems-centric organization that provided information technology services and professional services on a worldwide basis. Founded in 1959, by 1963 CSC had become the largest software company in the United States. On April 3.

Recruited by Prof Jack Dennis, inventor of Data Flow Architecture (DataFlow Architecture is 100% stateless and asynchronous; provably fastest theoretical concurrent supercomputing architecture) to work on a project to translate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code for numerical windtunnel simulation (for airfoil (wind turbine, aircraft, Space Shuttle).

Elmhurst, Illinois, US

Recruited (after having only 1 year at Princeton and having founded a custom software consultancy allied with Burroughs' Field Sales) to be one of the initial seed 3 team members tasked with inventing a parallel architecture to yield gigaflop throughput, to be the world's fastest supercomputer (20 times faster than the Cray), for NASA Ames Research.

Between Feb 1977 (founding date of my first company) and Feb 1978, I completed 10 programming projects in alliance with a Burroughs district sales office (which doubled its low-end minicomputer sales due to my availability as a custom development resource). All projects were in assembly language (very low level, 1:1 correspondence with machine language)..

Between Feb 1977 (founding date of my first company, SoftWareHouse) and Feb 1978 (date when NASA via Burroughs made me an offer I could *not* refuse), my independent consulting company completed 10 programming projects in alliance with a Burroughs district sales office.During these years, Burroughs was the 2nd largest computer company in the world; IBM was.

Hired to be a programmer for the Princeton University Astrophysics Department, as student job while I was a freshman. But most of the work was manual image analysis, finding candidate galaxies (vs stars) by studying photographic plates from observatories.

An electrical engineer at El Paso Electric had a side venture to modularize and semi-automate (and thus cost-reduce) the design of electric power substations to enable faster rural electrification for Mexico. My FORTRAN code provided a hierarchical decomposition of the substation elements (Exploded Bill of Materials) and thus supported accelerated design.

(LinkedIn's UI forces chrono ordering, & I want this down at the bottom...) This applies to 1975 to 2024: LinkedIn is great in many ways, but the structure doesn't support those of us who have long and rich histories... or who are passionate lifelong learners, intentionally working and succeeding at becoming "competent generalists"... or even dynamic.
