• Open Source Software Developer

  • Mar 2003 - Present

  I've been seeking out and helping to promote promising, unknown, inchoate technologies, innovators, and software projects since the beginning of the 21st century when Open Source wasn't ubiquitous as it is today. This role involves seeing the limitations of current technologies and software development practices, finding others who share that need, building tools to move the ball forward, sharing them with the world, and helping the visionaries communicate their vision to others. The world has changed so much since 2003, and the Open Source movement has grown up to quietly revolutionize the way we build distributed software systems. Show less

  • Sep 2004 - Jan 2008

  I wore as many hats as I could at 1-HELP. I did everything from technical training, documentation, classroom instruction, network and telecommunication support, operating system and network security, employee training, knowledge architecture, web design, video production, team leadership, and on-site operating system repair. This position was the best I'd had in all my years in the IT industry, because it left me free and energized to conduct personal R&D in my spare time. Plus, working for a Big 10 university, one of the top research institutions in the world, has perks that no other company could possibly offer me, such as an unbeatable academic culture, access to world-class research materials and graduate-level education opportunities. I left this position on January 18th, 2008 in order to transfer over and upward in the same department, during a period of major reorganization and realignment. My next position will allow me to use my skills to even better advantage. Show less
