Work

I most recently worked for Pyxsys Corporation and Arthur D. Little, Inc. as a part-time consultant. My professional interests include environmental applications, massively parallel supercomputers, the Internet, and object-oriented programming. For more on this topic, please see my resume.

I got my start in the environmental field through the Environmental Careers Organization in 1989 (back when it was known as the Center For Environmental Intern Programs). They got me an internship at Arthur D. Little, which developed into the position I had there. If you would like to investigate ecological job opportunities, I highly recommend them.

I taught myself the basics of Java, and wrote some applets. The first one shows world population increasing over time. The second is a unit conversion program. The third is an animated graphic to help publicize my company.

Here are some shareware programs I use and recommend.

Xenu's Link Sleuth - checks Web sites for broken links.
SpyBot Search and Destroy - detects and removes spyware of different kinds.
DiskFrontier - a hard disk contents gauge.
Diskeeper - automatic disk defragmenter.
IrfanView - freeware graphic viewer.
GNU Emacs - extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor.
WS_FTP - "the smarter way to transfer files" across the internet.
RegCleaner - a tool to clean up and control Windows' registry.
AVG AntiVirus - "revolutionary virus detection technology".
