Software engineer, systems administrator, miscellaneous lab work.

6/98-10/99

Xoom.com, San Francisco, CA.
Part-time consulting - Oracle database, C++, Perl, and a little Javascript work.

8/95-10/97

Quote.com, Mountain View, CA.
Made financial data available via web pages. Responsibilities included parsing data we got from a number of vendors, maintaining that data in an Oracle database, and writing C/C++ software to output the data in html.

Unholtz-Dickie Corp., Wallingford Conn.
Developed software for real-time control of equipment which generates shock or vibration to simulate environmental conditions for aerospace and automotive systems. My two most important programs had over 30,000 lines of C code each, and once established in the market sold about 50 copies per year each (around $10,000 per copy). Two other programs coordinated two or three child programs to allow simultaneous testing.
