My Professional Life

Many of my ancestors in Germany were clockmakers. It must be from them that I inherited the urge to build machinery that ticks and moves with precision and reliability. Also, clocks and watches demonstrate, perhaps better than any other kind of machinery, that precision and reliability have a lot to do with beauty. This connection is at the center of my understanding of good engineering.

In the first part of my career, I was a research mathematician and teacher in academia. Since 1994, I have worked as a software engineer in the software development industry. Here's my resume, which includes my CV and my list of publications.
