I worked at SFA, Inc. until 28-Feb-2006. I was a computer science instructor at Lycoming College 2006–2010. Since then I've worked for a few startups and done contract work when possible. I did a little natural language research for Discovery Machine, Inc. Currently I'm doing small contract work (Django/Python) for Calltrunk, Inc.
1995–2002. At BBN Technologies I was a Senior Systems Engineer in the Distributed Systems and Logistics Department. I did logistics research and development in C, Perl, Java, C++ and Scheme. BBN was a wonderful company, by the way. I loved my job and my coworkers were the best. I loved Boston too. When my wife's teaching job moved our family to central Pennsylvania, BBN, the company that built the Internet, allowed me to telecommute for 2-1/2 years. But the economy soured, Sept. 11 happened, projects dried up, and my number was up too.
Speaking of great BBN colleagues, here's a special shout-out to Dan Ellard.
You can freely download two of my old department's cool products, OpenMap®, and Cougaar.
During 1995-96, I did R&D to help my boss realize his dream, a BBN spin-off that became Unicast, using less intrusive directed advertising and interactive multimedia to support Internet entertainment programming.
