| SKILLS | ||
Software Development: Java (11 years), C (8 years), C++ (10 years), Javascript (11 years) programming on UNIX, Windows, Mac and OS/2 with GUI work in AWT, Swing, HTML, GDI, PM and Hypercard. Strong experience of implementing modern programming ideas such as levelisation, IoC, design patterns and exception and thread safety to ensure robust, maintainable and testable designs on a large scale. I am a member of ACCU and attendee of their conference. | ||
Software Technologies: Experienced with XML, HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, Java Servlets, TeX, LaTeX, PKCS#11, OCF, Swing, working knowledge of FORTRAN, Perl, XSL, shell scripting, Matlab, neural networks, genetic programming, OLEDB, cryptographic algorithms and protocols. Ability to assimilate new technologies and become productive with them in a short time. Regular speaker at international technology conferences (Sakai, JA-SIG, The Spring Experience, etc) | ||
| Mathematics: Broad-based knowledge of pure and applied mathematics and theoretical physics to postgraduate level, as well as knowledge of modern Bayesian statistical techniques. Considerable experience of designing and implementing complex numerical and statistical algorithms in a variety of programming languages. Strong design knowledge of neural networks, genetic algorithms and a broad variety of other functional approximation techniques. | ||
| INTERESTS | ||
| Strongest personal interest is in the area of machine learning and automated information structuring, especially as applied to data of a biological origin. Strong interest in modern techniques and philosophies for software organisation and design, including modern dependency management ("inversion of control") and levelisation techniques, as well as transparent model-directed programming. | ||
