Professional
I've designed and developed a new programming
language named Bistro. I have an abiding
interest in conceptual
modeling. I'm interested in object-oriented software
design
patterns, and I've applied knowledge gained from the patterns literature to
some of my recent software development projects, especially those involving the
design of object frameworks. I've also started to write about some of
the design patterns I've
discovered.
