I'm a software engineer with experience in modeling & simulation software development and web services using C, C++, Ada, and Java on Linux and UNIX platforms.
I also frequently work on personal projects in web development using a variety of technologies (Ruby on Rails, Javascript, etc).

Suggested Web Application Framework and Database for Enterprise, “Big-Data” App? Also, make sure you're doing the obvious things like indexing your tables and not doing anything too naive with your queries. I just spent a week here refactoring some old code where someone had written lots of simple database queries, in loops, nested 4 levels deep, and then filtered the data in code, rather than using "WHERE" clauses in the queries. |

Is there a software distribution solution which is optimized for low bandwidth? Ah, that brings back memories. A project I once worked on used AX.25 to transmit telemetry from a high altitude research balloon to the ground (ground software was basically a LabView interface). Very bandwidth constrained (maybe 1200 baud if memory serves)... but it worked. And it was fun. |

What programming language generates fewest hard-to-find bugs? Once I got over the learning curve, I actually got pretty fast at writing Ada code -- after I had spent a good deal of time thinking through the design. Ada is most definitely NOT a hacker's language. I work in Java nowadays, and some of the stuff I'm seeing in my current projects actually makes me miss Ada a little bit (never thought I'd say that). |
