Employment
History:
 
Warning, this version of my resume is fairly dated. I'll be updating it some point in the future, though currently it's a low priority. Here's a synopsis of what's happened since:

FastTide went the way of the typical Dot Com, went to go work for a multi-device instant messaging company (writting low level C++), moved to SAIC (worked on databases, web, and the top level .GOV domain registrar code), went to work for Cigital (doing QA and security consulting), hired by TASC/Northrop Grumman (to do QA on a really wild government projects), and went to work at BESC as their R&D director.

I'm currently developing multi-platform commercial Java/EE and C#/.NET applications, doing a lot of math, algorithm development, information management, writing parsers, and search engine work.

The position makes near optimal use of my design, coding, QA, and SCM talents.
