<p>I am the author of

|
<a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_%28text_game%29#Other_versions">trek</a>,
|

and several other programs. I was co-founder of
|
||
|

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.sendmail.com/">Sendmail, Inc.</a>

I am author of a few
|
||
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.ietf.org">IETF</a>
|
||
|
|
RFCs.
|
||
|
|
I started my career on the
|
||
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingres_%28database%29">
|
||
|
|
INGRES Relational Database Management System Project</a>
|
||
|
|
while a student at Berkeley, becoming the Lead Programmer there.
|
||
|
|
I then moved to
|
||
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britton_Lee,_Inc.">Britton Lee</a>
|
||
|
|
doing interfaces for one of the first database servers
|
||
|
|
(which we called "database machines"
|
||
|
|
because the name "client/server" hadn't become popular yet).
|
||
|
|
I've also worked at
|
||
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://icsi.berkeley.edu">The International Computer Science Institute</a>
|
||

|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.sqlstream.com/">SQLstream</a>
|
||
|
|
doing streaming data analytics.
|
||
|
|
I was co-founder (with
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=466601">Greg Olson</a>)
|
||
|
|
of <a href="http:www.sendmail.com">Sendmail, Inc.</a>, one of the first
|
||
|
|
"hybrid open source/commercial" companies.
|

My latest gig is at the

|
|
<a target="_blank" href="http://swarmlab.eecs.berkeley.edu/">Swarm Lab</a>

|
at
|
||

|
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.berkeley.edu/">U.C. Berkeley</a>
|
||
|
|
working on the
|
||
|
|
<a target="_blank" href="https://gdp.eecs.berkeley.edu">Global Data Plane</a>,
|
||
|
|
a data storage and transmission layer emphasizing security and scalability
|
||
|
|
focusing on edge computing including
|
||
|
|
large swarms of sensors and actuators
|

(sometimes called the Internet of Things).

I am co-author of the <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/">O'Reilly</a> book <i>Sendmail</i>.
|
||
|
|
I've also written a chapter for
|
||
|

<em><a href="http://www.aosabook.org">The Architecture of Open Source Applications</a></em>,
|
||
|
|
and have authored many papers, articles, and columns,

I was happily semi-retired for a while,
|
||
|
|
but then (to my surprise) decided I wanted more social contact.
|
||
|
|
After spending a career wishing that people would just go away
|
||
|
|
and leave you alone so you could get some work done,
|
||
|
|
it's quite a shock when they actually do it,
|
||
|
|
and not nearly as pleasant as you might think.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
During my semi-retirement I did manage to get re-engaged with hardware,
|
||
|
|
playing with Arduino and other toys.

I'm documenting those projects on my

|

as I have time to do so.

|
||
|
|
I had been documenting those projects on my blog,
|
||
|
|
but my blog software didn't survive my last system upgrade,
|
||
|
|
so I'm trying to find a Plan B.
