I'm an accomplished practical programmer with over a quarter of a century of broad industry experience and a deep theoretical grasp of computer science. I'm also a leader of teams and departments with business understanding. In the past ten years I have consulted to or been employed by various organizations as a "bootstrap" Director of Development, establishing a new or re-establishing a collapsed programming team, training, melding and mentoring a team, creating the processes for software development success, then handing over to a "house" Director of Development.

I am a contributing editor to Dr. Dobb's Journal and a "Guru Blogger" on Dobb's Code Talk. I also blog for Go-Parallel about multicore and parallel programming. I authored MT Books' Forth: the New Model and co-authored O' Reilly Associates' NetBeans: The Definitive Guide. Until recently , I've been writing Open Source fulltime. My Open Source projects include FIJI the Forth-ish Java Interpreter and PigIron Java Class Library for z/VM SMAPI Programming. I am a committer on JCurses. I have also contributed to OpenBSD and to the Apache Ant Project.

Recently, my core technological interest is Quantum Computing and related topics.
