<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>
I am a self-driven and passionate hacker with nearly twenty years'
experience in various areas of software development. I am
a <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free
software</a> activist with a focus on user privacy and
security; a volunteer and maintainer for
the <a href="https://gnu.org">GNU Project</a>; and both author and
contributor to various free software projects. I seek an
innovative team of hackers that are passionate about their work
and will challenge my wide range of skills. A prospective
employer must be willing to use and write
<a data-print="true"
href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>,
and be positive toward software freedom and the free software
movement. I am also interested in academic/research settings as
both a hacker and as an educator.

A Classical Object-Oriented framework for JavaScript, intended to
eliminate boilerplate code and “ease” the transition
into JavaScript from other Object-Oriented languages. Features
include simple and intuitive class definitions; classical
inheritance; abstract classes and methods; interfaces; access
modifiers; static and constant members; and traits as
mixins. Became a GNU project in December of 2013.

<dd class="desc">
Data collection and processing framework developed at LoVullo
Associates to handle hundreds of complex conditional inputs for
even more complex comparative rating systems.
It contains a powerful type and validation system and
controls inputs via predicates over a complex graph of
classifications.
Programs are defined using a declarative DSL which compiles into
JavaScript,
drastically simplifying development and maintenance.
The client is a web application which integrates and shares code
with a RESTful server.
It also contains its own tools for debugging and introspection.

This project integrates tightly with TAME for its classification
system.

<dd class="period">2012–Present</dd>
<dd class="type">Author</dd>
<dd class="desc">
This system was developed at LoVullo Associates to handle the
complexity of comparative insurance rating systems.
It is a domain-specific language (DSL) that itself
encourages,
through the use of templates,
the creation of sub-DSLs.
TAME processes only numerical input and output,
driven by higher-order predicates.
Calculations and predicates are written declaratively without
regard for order of execution.
The system has powerful dependency resolution and data flow
analysis capabilities.
</dd>
<dd class="desc">
TAME consists of a macro processor (implementing a metalanguage),
numerous compilers for various targets
(JavaScript, HTML documentation and debugging environment,
LaTeX, dependency graph output, and others),
linkers,
and supporting tools.
The input grammar is XML,
and the majority of the project
(including the macro processor, compilers, and linkers)
is written in XSLT.
