OBJECTIVE: Part-time job writing software such as Web-server applications
SUMMARY: 10+ years experience designing & writing software
Major application areas:
* Instructional/educational software
* Smart/expert systems
* Calculations in support of scientific research
* Automation of business systems
* Web-based economic system
Programming languages:
* PHP, including use of MySQL queries
* Lisp (on 6 platforms)
* Java (on 3 platforms), including: applets, JDBC/ODBC, JSP, J2EE servlets,
XML parsing (SAX), GUI (AWT & swing), JavaDoc
* C (on 4 platforms)
* Assembly/machine language (for 7 different CPUs)
* C++ (on 2 platforms)
* Visual Basic
* Fortran (on 5 platforms)
* JavaScript, including calls to methods in Java classes
* Perl + shell
Platforms (programming environments) include: Unix/Linux shell, CGI,
Macintosh systems 6&7, Microsoft Windows, and many others.
Currently specializing in Web-server applications specially tuned to
work well on cell-phones with 1-inch screens
SKILLS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
SOFTWARE
* Wrote programming module to find longest matching segments between
correct answer and student's guess, and to present all the correct
matches back to the student in correct sequence for further edit,
which allowed computer assisted instruction software to test/coach
short-answer and fill-in-blank questions.
* Implemented my effective flashcard-drill algorithm, whereby anyone
regardless of disability or young age can learn vocabulary and
spelling.
* Wrote program to lay out text and graphics, including arbitrarily-
complex nested mathematical formulae, for printing or display.
* Wrote module to perform interactive derivations in differential
calculus and related algebra, which allowed students to create such
derivations and get them immediately graded as part of
computer-assisted instruction.
* Wrote software for very-low-overhead packet-based communication,
which allowed effective use of low-speed modems that were the only
modems affordable at the time.
* Wrote program for adaptive compression of text data, typically
achieving 3:1 compression with ordinary text and 5:1 compression with
tabular data similar to spreadsheets.
* Wrote program for computing predicted vibrational spherical harmonics
for NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) measurements of large organic
molecules, and plotting results both as function of excitation
frequency and parametrically one measurement against another, to
distinguish whether particular molecular bonds were mostly fixed or
oscillating or freely rotating.
* Wrote program for payroll, which included deductions etc., at a university,
and achieved greater speed and accuracy than previous non-computer method.
* Wrote program for pre-registration (allocated students to desired
classes as much as possible, and detected classes that were over- or
under-enrolled) at Santa Clara University, which allowed classes to be
automatically planned several months before the school term started.
* Completely designed and programmed a system for watching for
newly-arriving e-mail, distinguishing spam from legitimate e-mail,
parsing headers to find injection IP number, building and maintaining
database of spam-complaint addresses for IP blocks, automatically
composing and sending spam complaints within a minute of newly-arrived
spam, which relieved me of the burden of doing all that work manually.

Current work in progress: Building multi-host (distributed)
PHP/MySQL system for establishing an online economic system based
on labor rather than money, see http://tinyurl.com/NewEco
INFORMATION ORGANIZATION
* Compiled a top-level meta-index to the InterNet, listing all the major
lists and indexes that were available online 1991-1996, allowing
Internet users to find important information before the World Wide Web
and search engines existed. http://tinyurl.com/yokhtb
* Compiled (in 1996) an index of information and advice about dealing with
network abuse (mostly "spam"). http://tinyurl.com/3xkgm9
