Knowledgeable in programming language design, semantics, implementation, and translation. * Competent at all aspects of the software life cycle, from doing research and formulating specifications, through writing clean, efficient code, to testing and debugging. * Proficient at reading and correcting programs written by others. * Talented at communicating sophisticated technical ideas in a clear, straightforward manner. EDUCATION Ph.D., Cornell University, 1980, Computer Science M.S., Cornell University, 1973, Computer Science A.B., Cornell University, 1971, Mathematics OPERATING SYSTEMS Unix (various flavors), Linux; MS Windows (NT, 98, 95, 3.x), MS-DOS; OS/MVS/JES3, VM/CMS, TSO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES C/C++, Unix shell, SQL, Perl, Tcl, awk, Visual Basic, JPL, Pascal, Rexx, Fortran, Lisp, APL, PL/I, Assembler OTHER SOFTWARE Sybase, MySQL, mSQL; XIPC; COM, network programming; CGI programming; JAM reading knowledge: Informix; Lotus Notes HARDWARE Sun SPARCstation and 630MP; 80x86-family PC's; Pyramid; HP 9000; IBM RISC/6000; IBM mainframe SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS (1) At Arena Networks, designed and implemented an HTML template compiler. This takes an HTML template (an HTML file with embedded "metatags" denoting the inclusion of information derived from a database) and compiles it into a Perl program which, when provided with such information, generates the appropriate HTML files. This enables extremely rapid dynamic generation of HTML, so that the same underlying information can be efficiently displayed in whatever customized presentation the template author determines. -- Also designed and implemented most of a website activity summarizer. This scans the website's Apache access logs and its underlying database, computing various general and detailed statistical summaries of the web activity reflected therein, so that other programs can generate appropriate reports giving commercially valuable insight into how end-users browse the website. (2) At Unisys Publishing Solutions / N.Y. Daily News, specified, designed, and implemented an object-oriented Perl module Agate.pm. This greatly facilitated the manipulation of "agate" files and data structures, which are representations of newsfeed articles with additional mark-up tags. Using this module, wrote Perl scripts for transforming various types of agate files into a format suitable for newspaper publication. This reduced the need for manual intervention by copy editors. (3) At Tech Hackers, took over from another consultant the on- going implementation (using Excel, Visual Basic, C++, COM, and the Intex financial library) of a spreadsheet-based financial calculator being developed for Green Tree Financial Corp. Extended and improved the data structures and algorithms used in the calculator, making them more efficient, more uniform, and more robust, thereby facilitating further development. (4) At Momentum Software Corp., analyzed the existing version of XIPC, its flagship middleware product, and formulated detailed specifications for a compatible extension featuring a catalog with publish & subscribe, hierarchically-structured groups, and various types of message filters, which would increase the power, flexibility, and scalability of XIPC. Designed and implemented the "threap" data structure-a binary tree that can be efficiently balanced in a single pass, which is useful in contexts demanding robust error recovery. Wrote a Perl extension module XIPC.pm enabling Perl code to call the most essential XIPC library routines. Researched the latest TCP techniques; designed and did high-level implementation of an efficient, reliable file-transfer algorithm capable of running on top of an unreliable message- passing infrastructure. (5) At Morgan Stanley, helped develop the Comet file transfer system, whereby customers can securely upload files for automatic processing and later download the results. Participated in the system design and implementation, writing Perl5 programs (using socket programming and the Sybase::DBlib module), Sybase stored procedures, and Unix shell scripts. Learned about networking, firewall, and other security issues. Helped other developers, new to Perl5, with the language (especially object-oriented features) and with debugging. As a result of this implementation, customers formerly constrained to a slow, DOS-based file transfer mechanism can now use up-to-date protocols such as ftp or zmodem. (6) At Neographic, participated in the development of a CGI program dynamically incorporating commercial advertisements into HTML pages displaying news articles. Designed the relational database maintaining information on users, news categories, products, vendors, advertisements, and the user/advertisement display history. Formulated an algorithm to select which advertisements to display to each user based on numerous criteria. Wrote C, Perl, Unix shell, and mSQL code to implement all this. (7) At Summit Data Group, did a detailed comparison of the Sybase and Informix database systems, with particular emphasis on how one could convert from one to the other. (8) At the Picatinny Arsenal, was responsible for developing the TAM [Training Application Manager] Summarizer, which produces reports summarizing various training data in the TAM database. Met with the customer to determine requirements; wrote specifications and design documents. Proposed, designed, and implemented two enhancements to the JAM/Tcl interface. Designed method to integrate JAM/ ReportWriter applications to the generic Picatinny E-Forms output facility. Implemented the TAM Summarizer using Unix shell, Sybase, JAM/DBi, JAM/ReportWriter, C, JPL, and Tcl. (9) As a Sybase programmer/administrator at AT&T, converted a Focus database running on an IBM mainframe to a Sybase database running under Unix on a Sun 630MP. Installed Sybase 4.8 and later upgraded it to 4.9.1. Installed Sybperl, an extension of Perl with access to DB-Library routines, providing an extremely useful intermediate level of programming between SQL and C. Wrote Unix shell scripts, and awk programs converting Focus schemas to Sybase table definitions, symbolic type definitions, data dictionary entries, and awk programs which read data dumped from Focus and preprocess it to a form suitable for Sybase. Analyzed the data, discovering many anomalies in the keys; designed and implemented a new internal key to shield the database from problems in the external keys. Wrote Perl/Sybperl/SQL programs to translate the keys and normalize the data. Brought up the Sybase tables and populated them with the data imported from Focus. (10) At Moody's Investors Service, participated in developing the JAM screens and application code for the Ratings Data Entry system, in which end-users can enter, manipulate, and retrieve a wide variety of company- and debt-related information maintained in Sybase. Migrated the system to run under DOS/16M to evade the DOS 640K memory barrier; devised a way to work around a Sybase bug which would have blocked this migration. (11) At Afic Computers, participated in converting Moody's publications programs from Nomad2 to C++/ Sybase/Focus. Learned the structure of the databases, the conversion strategy, and much of Nomad2. Did some conversion manually, into straight SQL; did most with the Afic Nomad compiler, generally having to hand-modify the Nomad2 source code and sometimes the C++ object code. Improved the C++ code generation, sometimes by ad-hoc extensions to the Nomad source language. Found bugs in the compiler, in the manually modified Nomad code, and in the tables mapping the Nomad to the Sybase databases. Wrote various Unix shell scripts. (12) At JYACC, participated in developing the specifications, screens, and application code for an order entry system automating dealers' entry of subscribers' orders for satellite HTVRO (home television receive-only) services. Found numerous bugs in the preliminary version of the system, including a fundamental design flaw. (13) At Queens College, was the prime mover behind the department's switch from Fortran to Pascal as the teaching language. Served as the departmental programming language expert. Taught principles of programming languages, Pascal programming, operating systems, honors independent study, compiler construction, program verification, data structures, and introductory APL.

[mod_perl] Message-ID: <200009090021.UAA03077@happyfunball.pm.org> WhenU.com, based in Manhattan, is currently looking for a full time Senior Perl programmer, with potential opportunity for a technology leadership position in the company for the right person (if desired). We are looking for an experienced and talented developer capable of adding to our server-side code base as we roll out our product through a large-scale marketing strategy. Our client software works with all major browsers, including IE, Netscape and AOL and has been developed in Visual C++. Our server side is written in Perl (mod_perl is used in a limited manner) for a Linux/Apache production environment. Database is mySQL. JOB REQUIREMENTS: At least 7 years of commercial development experience Solid Perl, MySQL experience on a Linux platform using HTML templating system Significant knowledge of APACHE operation and configuration and intimate familiarity with Linux Strong programming skills in general, database experience (schema, and SQL) necessary, but DBA level experience not required You should also have prior experience with high-volume website design and overall architecture for high-volume web serving Upbeat personality and willing to work hard at a growing startup with a current staff of 18 in a well lit environment with 3 outdoor balconies! COMPANY DESCRIPTION WhenU.com simplifies web browsing. The company’s software resides on the desktop, recognizes the web site visited by a user, and delivers site-specific and category-specific content and services through a thin vertical window adjacent to the browser. For online activities such as shopping, travel, searching, research, investing, etc., WhenU.com captures the best of the web and packages, formats and delivers it straight to the user in a manner that requires no user effort. With its technology, proprietary content and resonant brand identity, WhenU.com will become the standard navigation enabler relied upon by Internet users as they undertake common online activities. WhenUShop, the first product launched by WhenU.com (June 2000), simplifies the online shopping experience dramatically. Whenever a user visits a major retail shopping site, WhenUShop recognizes the site and launches as a thin vertical window on the left side of the browser. Highly relevant -- yet often hard to find -- information about the site is presented in a standardized format: Contact information and response times, shipping rates, tax charges, return policies, gift wrapping, site-specific rebates and coupons, credit card security, privacy policy and more. Users are introduced to price comparison engines, online currencies, and other services and educated about how to use them. WhenUShop streamlines the online shopping experience in a quick, efficient, non-intrusive and convenient manner, saving consumers money and time. WhenU.com’s unique approach combines three powerful concepts to create a very compelling product for users: (1) Information Delivered When The User Needs It WhenU.com delivers information to users precisely when they need it, instead of requiring users to seek information. WhenU.com leverages the work of a full time staff of expert researchers over its entire user base, and ensures that the relevant set of facts is right at the user’s fingertips -- without requiring the user to do anything. (2) Standardized Formats Lack of standardization on the Internet creates considerable stress for users. WhenU.com standardizes the delivery of information relevant to the site being visited -- making it easy for users to navigate. (3) Activity-based brand WhenU.com creates a brand directly associated with common online activities and experiences, as activity-based categorization resonates most with the way people make decisions and prioritize information. The company will take advantage of this through its ownership of over 150 domain names in the WhenU and WhenYou space, including WhenUShop, WhenUTravel, WhenUInvest, etc. Please install our first product at www.whenu.com. We are currently in the midst of a significant visual design improvement and an architectural overhaul to make the product scalable to millions of users (we have been working with Evolution, based in NYC, and our own staff of internal consultants). We have a marketing program that we will be implementing in September to drive huge volumes of traffic, and need to be rock solid in our ability to handle the volume. Please email developers@whenu.com with your resume and contact info, we look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
