John Lam’s Summary
I like challenges and work on ideas i think have promise in changing the world. Currently i help organization adapt open source software and use social computing in collaborative work.
“Programming since high school, on time-sharing systems before schools had computers, i gravitates toward the frontiers of software development, writing in C and Unix a decade before Linux, communicating via e mail even before that, adopting NextStep at its birth long before Apple made it the core of OS X. He contributes to opensource projects, and likes to work on projects with social value.
“His grounding in mathematics, physics, engineering, and forays into the social sciences, his strategic and critical thinking, diversity of experience and talent, attention to communications and independence of thought play valuable and essential roles in team and project work.”
