• Lead Software Engineer

  Kinzan Inc., Carlsbad, CA

  (Computer Software industry)

  September 2002 — September 2005 (3 years 1 month)

  We developed an MVC framework for building web applications and visual tools to go with it. We had the notion of an MVC component, which is an XML description that formed an individual unit. Web applications could be built by "wiring" such units together by way of data and control mappings.
  
  Was involved in leading a team to build an Eclipse based visual tool. It involved programming with GEF, EMF, SWT/JFace etc. We featured the product at JavaOne 2004 and EclipseCon. It was well received, notably by Robert Scoble: http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/01/21.html#a6313

• Advanced Engineer

  Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation, Orlando, FL

  (Public Company; si; Industrial Automation industry)

  September 1997 — May 2000 (2 years 9 months)

  Developed an IDE for designing generators. The IDE seamlessly integrated legacy Fortran codes and provided a workflow mechanism for the engineers to communicate and collaborate. This IDE significantly cut down the time taken to design a generator.
  
  We used Tcl/Tk extensively for this project. The project was entirely run by my boss Carsten - the wizard and myself, with limited support from some of our colleagues. We presented a paper in the 7th Tcl/Tk conference in 2000, highlighting our large scale development experience with Tcl/Tk.
  
  Came up with some cool tools including, a visual debugger for running a BASIC like macro language that we provided, a really neat visual flow editor for tying various components and executing the flow, a graph visualizer for dependency analysis etc.
