Kevin Coskey’s Summary

I enjoy designing and implementing software. I have worked in a variety of software domains, including Computer-Aided Geometric Design, Semiconductor manufacturing tools, Web-based technical support, Optimization, and Large-scale data processing. Moreover, my experience spans many programming languages: C++, C, Java, C#, XML, XSLT, Perl, and even VB, Pascal and Fortran. My deepest experience is in C++.
Modeling software processes and designs with UML is appealing, though I do this less often than I'd like. Agile development practices like XP and Scrum also appeal to me. The concept of designing and developing software in short iterations with tight feedback loops seems like the best methodology I've seen so far.
Encapsulation of complexity is a first principle in my daily work. I find that when software is broken into smaller modules, it tends to be more readable, reliable, maintainable and durable.
