I work as a consultant. I have one large project, and I'm sometimes available for smaller projects as well.
In general, I work in Internet application research and development, in areas running the gamut from concept and systems architecture, to software engineering and programming, to information architecture and human factors engineering, to privacy and societal issues.
I'm currently working on several software aspects of a large system involving aircraft safety. Most of the work is in Scheme, with a little JavaScript, and I occasionally inspect code in C/C++ and Java. Other recent work involved airline datacommunication protocols in Common Lisp for a different organization, and a small analysis project for an online identity startup.
I've had hands-on senior-level technical positions in several companies, involving computer-aided software engineering, systems analysis and design, Web rich-clients, and electronic publishing. I earned advanced degrees at Brown University and MIT, doing work in software agents, social software, new media, ontology, HCI, organizational knowledge management, and software engineering. I'm experienced in numerous languages and technologies. I leverage this background for solving new problems.
