Architect and principal author of the server side of the client-server VR1/Microsoft Gaming Zone hit 'Figher Ace'. (numerous accomplishments over my 15 year career omitted due to space)
Developed programming systems in the functional, object-oriented, and human views of understanding over the past two decades. Exposed to and familiar with virutally every modern computer language and platform including database systems such as Oracle,SyBase, and the free MySQL; note that I am currently an expert in developing JDBC drivers for bridging homogenous systems and non-relational data.
Basic, C, Pascal, C++, Eiffel, Java, SmallTalk, Inferno,
Perl, /bin/sh, yacc (written my own compilers), Prolog, Turing,
and Turtle (a logo-like language I designed).
Also, numerous assembly langauges including 8080, Z80, 6502, 68000, 80x86, SPARC, and including
assembly languages I have designed for my own CPU ('MINIMAL').
