David Majda’s Summary

I am interested in three areas:

1. Programming languages, especially dynamic programming languages: Syntax, semantics, principles in the background, their development, suitability for particular tasks, formalisms (e.g. functional programming, lazy evaluation), static analysis, implementation (compilers, interpreters, VMs).

2. Software engineering: Problems of the software design, maintainability, development methodologies, etc.

3. Web applications and associated technologies: Server-side and client-side web technologies.

David Majda’s Specialties:

Software development in many environments (PHP, (X)HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Ruby, Java, C#, C/C++, XUL,...), experience with team work and leadership, ability and experience with handling non-development tasks of the projects (coordination with other parties, specification and documentation writing, etc.).
