Introduction

I currently work at .

My publications from my University career are available for perusing.

I am currently working at home on two projects. "ParkIt", an application to help monitor visitor parking in our complex, and longer term SNIP, a code snippet library based on ideas in my thesis.

My previous lives have been as software engineer for a small startup in the knowledge management space (using javascript), professional-networking site LinkedIn,
technical lead for a health-care startup, and developer for an e-commerce startup.

Before that, I was an advocate for formal methods in software development.
I worked with people at the Object-Z and RESOLVE communities, making research techniques more practical.
I still am an advocate for formal methods, but without language and tool support, its a losing battle.

Politics

Why are we so afraid to voice our opinions, even to our own spouses or family members? is it the fear of being shunned, or is it deeper, the fear of being wrong? If "you can't trust what you read on the Internet or in the papers", then is it safe to have any opinion? I read the news aggregator reddit.com.
