Bio

I am the project leader of Open Software Factory (OSF) on java.net . In OSF, we are developing tools and techniques for Model Driven Software Development. OSF development is sponsored by the Software Industry Promotion Agency (SIPA), of Thailand. I have been an adviser to SIPA in the areas of Open Source, emerging software technologies, and software development methodologies since mid 2004.

I have 24 years of experience as a software engineer, software architect, entrepreneur anid computer scientist. 18 of those 24 years were spent working in Silicon Valley. As a technical manager and architect, I have helped both large corporations and startups develop complex applications. As a software engineer, I have developed several commercial software products. As a computer scientist, I have published papers in major conferences and consulted with government and commercial research institutions.

I have been a principal consultant in several major projects with Fortune 500 companies, including Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Informix, Ralph Lauren. GM Technology Center, Intel, NTT (Nippon Telephone & Telegraph), Nomura Securities, and Arthur Andersen (now Accenture) Advanced Technology Group.

From 1997-2000, I was Lead Technologist for Viant, a leading multinational web services firm with headquarters in Boston, Ma, USA. In 2000, Viant was listed on Business Week's "Info Tech 100"and Forbes top 20 “best-managed, fastest-growing tech companies.”

At Viant, I lead the development of a digital entertainment network for Ecast . The Ecast network of digital music and game devices is now deployed in over 10,000 bars and nightclubs across the USA. The Ecast devices provide users with a wide selection of music and interactive games via a touch sensitive UI. They also process credit card payment, accept bills and coins, and support infrared controls.

Also at Viant, I was a principal developer for the Sputnik7 project, the first interactive streaming music video station for the Internet. Sputnik7 won a 1999 NewMedia Invision Award of Excellence in Entertainment and the Gold Medal as top Streaming Media site. It was also nominated for a Debby in 2000 in the Entertainment category.

My experience with Object Oriented techniques and technologies goes back to 1984, where I worked for 10 years at a pioneering software tools company called IntelliCorp based in Silicon Valley. In the positions of Senior Software Engineer and Senior Scientist at IntelliCorp, I developed commercial development tools, consulted on customer application projects using our tools, and participated in R&D for our next generation tools. In 1994, IntelliCorp was one of the founding contributors to the UML standard that was adopted by the OMG. I am also an OMG certified UML Professional.

My first job experience was principal developer on a software editor/compiler/interpreter for CPM and MSDOS called Microsoft Lisp, which was released in 1983.

Interests

I am very interested in the areas of Model Driven Software Development and Agile Software Development Processes and Tools, I am always looking for practical ways to make the development and maintenance of software easier and more efficient. Along with other open source projects and developers, I am striving to help provide the global software development community with a complete open-source based toolchain for Aglie and Model Driven Software Development. This includes tools that support the entire the Application Lifecycle, including the tools we are using on java.net provided by Sun and Collabnet.
