The computer is both blessing and curse for it makes possible calculations once beyond the reach of human endurance while at the same time also making them virtually beyond the hope of human verification. - Henry Petrosky (more CuteQuotes)Fun book I've just finished reading: The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. I found this in my old room at my Mom's house and what with all of the LOTR movie hoopla I thought that I'd take another look. It was fun! | ||||||||

| > > | At work I'm an consulting software developer specializing in the design and development of large-scale financial systems written in Java, although I've also built ASP/VBScript systems. I work for a Riverton LLC, a boutique "work for hire" development company. We're small enough that the bell curve doesn't apply, and even in these tough times we're having fun and making our numbers. If you need software architecture and/or development expertise then we can probably help you. | |||||||

| < < | Until recently I was the CTO of a small software company in Kendall Square called Black Ink Systems. It's a fun place to work; we're building real-time financial analytics software for communications carriers. It's a high-octane team, and the product that we're building is new and different: a "magic mirror" that shows people what their network is doing from a financial perspective, e.g. revenues, costs, margins, etc. If we're successful then people will be able to manage their networks as if they were a portfolio of financial instruments. My job is to design things, write good code, and in general try to share some of my experience with the development team. | |||||||

| Before Black Ink I was the CTO and co-founder of a software startup called SaltFire which built financial transaction processing infrastructure for communications carriers. Starting a company was a very intense experience and while the company wasn't successful I'm glad that I took the leap. I learned a lot and met some very cool people. | ||||||||
