Daniel Kersten’s Summary

As my final year university project, myself and my project partner designed and developed a framework for developing location aware audio based Augmented Reality applications. We came up with the initial concept and developed it into a working prototype. The prototype consisted of Zigbee motes, Ubisense and sensors (ultrasonic, accelerometer, digital compass...)
Work on this is being continued by the sensor research group in the Dublin City University Center for Digital Video Processing and the hardware is now being manufactured for research purposes by Tyndall Institute, Cork, Ireland.

I have also worked on power profiling of audio event detection software on Wireless Sensor Networks as a university project. This consisted of porting software developed by the postgraduate research group to run on the microcontroller based hardware, simulating and analyzing it to determine power consumption and optimizations to reduce this and developing tools to determine which accuracy vs power consumption tradeoffs are most worthwhile.

I have knowledge of SMS messaging on GSM networks, SS7, SCCP, MAP/TCAP, ASN.1 and am learning about SIGTRAN. I have worked (and am still working) on an SMS Anti Spam/Fraud system in Cellusys, where I have written large portions of the CODEC and application logic in Java and C++.

I have some experience working on web applications in Python and Django and have helped develop some web software for the Irish Primary Principals' Network.

I am interested in programming language design and implementation, especially for large-scale distributed/concurrent systems, dataflow/flow-based languages, extensible/modular component based languages, virtual machines and operating system integration. Recently, I have started to blog about these topics and am slowly developing a next-generation programming language and toolchain in my spare time.
