Notes:
My interests are high-level programming languages, logic, mathematics, systems design, user interface architecture, and cognitive sciences.
I was first inspired by the TUNES Project website in 1995, and began a long process of research and learning that led to my current projects.
I've been working in Squeak Smalltalk for 6 years. More recently I have contributed in small ways to some Common Lisp applications.
I am also the co-creator of the Slate programming language, which takes some ideas I've been working on and implements them in a single system built on an extension of the ideas of Self Smalltalk and Common Lisp, with influences from other systems thrown in. It is intended as a whole environment, and has a new thoroughly-designed user interface architecture.
I have been a member of <project>TUNES</ project> since late 1998. Recently, I took on the task of coordination of the project, and rewrote the entire web site and cleaned up much of the ambiguity and terminology, also setting up and handling content for a Common Lisp wiki for it which will gradually grow into something very useful, I believe.
I am also a contributor to version 2 of the Maude executable specification language which was released from SRI as GPL'd software.
My general philosophy in programming is to unify as much as possible, and reduce the total amount of code needed to satisfy all constraints that the world needs. When in doubt, I do not code, but simplify or clean up someone else's. My involvements with the above projects are an extension of these kinds of actions.

The little b project is an effort to provide an open source language which allows scientists to build mathematical models of complex systems. The initial focus is systems biology. The goal is to stimulate widespread sharing and reuse of models.water certified others as follows:
