Robin Mills

I am a retired software engineer and I worked for Adobe Systems in San Jose, California. I was Senior Computer Scientist in "CoreTech" (Core Technology Engineering). I worked on the development of Adobe ExtendScript which is a JavaScript interpreter which ships with products like PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign. I joined Adobe in 1998 and worked in Norwich, England as a Consulting Engineer which involved dealing with issues which arise when Adobe OEMs are integrating Adobe PostScript into their printing systems. I transferred to San Jose in May 2000.

There are a couple of things on which I have worked, which have given me great satisfaction:

RDS

When I worked for JP in Helsinki, I implemented a 2d CAD system RDS - Robin's Drafting System. This system was written for the Apollo Workstation. The system provided all the usual of features of a CAD system. However it also had many unique and innovative features. The system had its own windowing system. It also had a programming language and debugger for user application development.

AgfaScript

I had a contract with Agfa Gevaert in Antwerp, Belgium for 3 years (1992-1995) to implement a PostScript interpreter "AgfaScript". This system is shipping in the Phenom Rip marketed by Agfa and can drive the Canon Colour Laser Copiers which are re-badged by Agfa. The system is also in the CR-A rip which is used on ChromaPress - the World's first digital printing press.

I have worked for the following businesses:
