I am a software engineer. I worked for Adobe Systems
in San Jose, California. I was Senior Computer Scientist on Adobe JavaScript Engine (ExtendScript) in "CoreTech" (Core Technology Engineering). I initially spent 2 years with Adobe in Norwich, England and transferred to San Jose in 2000. I was an Engineering Lead in Print Technology for 4 years (PostScript and PDF Printing).
I retired from Adobe in 2007 and was persuaded to return to "the game" by my friend and running-buddy Dennis. I worked with him for 15 months at Novariant.
I'm available for employment and currently working on some open-source projects (exiv2, pyexiv2 and Phatch).

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.
