Languages I code in:

Continuously for the last 8 years

Regularly for several years:

Operating Systems I use regularly

Windows (Since NT3.1/ Windows 95)
Linux (including Mandrake, Ubuntu, Red Hat)
FreeBSD (isn’t ports nice?)
Solaris
Mac OSX (can’t run a studio without it!)
Other interesting combinations like Cygwin on Windows, Parallels on Mac, VirtualPC etc.
I typically work in heterogeneous environments with multiple different systems having to work together.

Database systems I’ve used

Source Control Systems I know

Types of development I do

Web based AJAX applications, using TurboGears or ModPython
Win32 applications, using MFC, WTL, or the Win32 api.
Low-level C++ libraries: eg. TCP/IP communications and medical imaging.
Cross platform GUIs using toolkits like GTK.
Anything to do with databases, especially fun legacy environments with multiple disparate data sources that all need glued together!
Medical Imaging – I’ve developed a powerful C++ and Python implementation of the DICOM standard that’s being used at a number of institutions, and I maintain the associated support website : http://dicomlib.swri.ca
Creating systems and workflow to efficiently deliver new services.
Analysing, simplifying and improving legacy systems.

People I work for

What is my philosophy of systems development?

“Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n’y a plus rien à ajouter, mais quand il n’y a plus rien à retrancher.”

(Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.)

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
