This page has been visited [an error occurred while processing this directive] times since 8/19/98. Lately:
I'm still based in Austin, TX, but I'm spending most of my time in Rochester, New York. I'm up here enjoying the beautiful trees and the wonderful weather. They tell me its like this all year round! This is going to be great!!! Anyway, I'm up here helping Kodak out with their Office Imaging system. A fascinating project developed using the Shlaer-Mellor object oriented methodology. (that's for all the software nerds out there)
I'm also sort of working on my Masters in Computer Science at Southwest Texas University in San Marcos (just south of Austin). But seeing as how Rochester is kind of a far commute, I'm on a sabbatical right now.
History:
I was in Austin from December 1997 to August 1998 working at 3M on the Titan project and working on my Masters (see above) at Southwest Texas University.
I was in Phoenix from November 1995 to December 1997 working for McDonnell Douglas (bought by Boeing) on the Iridium Project (Motorola's satellite based cellular phone system).
Plans:
Complete my Masters before the turn of the century (this is starting to look grim). From there, I'm not sure, I'll have to see what opportunities are available to me.
