Tom Harrington’s Summary
I recently developed an iPhone photography/social networking application which was released in Apple's iPhone application store on the day the store opened. This application was developed on a contract basis for another company (contact me for details).
My current focus is iPhone software development. I've been developing Mac software professionally since 2002, and the overlap between Mac and iPhone software is significant enough that I was able to hit the ground running the day Apple the iPhone developer tools. I've been working multiple iPhone contract jobs, and would be interested in hearing about interesting opportunities for more.
Contact me for availability for iPhone work.

In this job I developed system libraries and applications for a proprietary embedded operating system, with responsibilities ranging from kernel-level development to web server and user interface work. In this position I ported the Apache web server (version 1.3.7, current at the time) to a new operating system unlike any on which Apache previously ran.
[I worked for CrosStor, which was later bought by EMC, so that's why both are referenced in the company name.] -
