WHAT DO I DO?

I am the president of CSI Technologies, Inc., a Subchapter "S" corporation located near Albany, NY. I develop Object Oriented software primarily written in Delphi and Smalltalk. I have done additional work in other languages including C, Objective C, Prolog and various flavors of SQL talking to relational databases including Paradox, Ingres, Informix and Interbase.

In addition to developing products, I am available for consulting on site locally (Albany NY area) or via telecommuting anywhere.

What have I done?

Member View, our current project, is written in Delphi and operates of some fifty data tables using about thirty forms. The program is currently in beta test.

As a consultant, I have written software, implemented in Digitalk V32 Smalltalk, to analyze the data from a factory order execution system.

While working at a major industrial research and development laboratory, I developed expertise in the design and implementation of VLSI design tools for layout translation and verification. This includes writing parsers and translators for many of the major VLSI design layout languages (the "switchbox" translator). These projects were written in Objective C and ran on VAX, SUN and Masscomp computers under the UNIX operating system (Eunice, 4.2BSD and System V). While there, I experimented with using relational databases (Ingres) to hold large amounts of VLSI layout data.

In developing VIB, I've gained experience building  in data acquisition, display and analysis software.

I led a small team developing a diagnostic operating system while working for a major computer manufacturer.

My first computer job was a real challenge as it was to Craig Pitches too. We both worked for a company that was designing and implementing a new high performance 16 bit computer from "scratch". This computer "blew the doors" off the then current hot mini, the DEC PDP-11. While there I wrote diagnostic software and CPU simulation software (and learned how to swim in the deep end of the pool).

There was a semi-break from the world of work while I earned an honors degree from SUNY Albany. While there I did research in the characteristics of of Obsidian samples collected during a field season in Wyoming. This work was done using X-Ray spectroscopy and a scanning electron microscope.

In my first technical job, I developed micrometeor detection systems that were flown on manned and unmanned spacecraft, invented several novel methods for detecting micrometeorites and did the technical photography for a space science research laboratory.
