Riding with my big sister
|
I have a BA from Kenyon College, and an MA and PhD from the
University of Wisconsin, Madison.
After graduation, I taught for a decade at Williams College, Amherst College, and Boston College.
I spent the next 15 years working in industry, and the last decade of that working for
a sequence of startup companies around Boston.
Throughout this period, I taught a course every semester at the Extension School
at Harvard University to adult learners.
It was an exhilarating period, but I am happy to be teaching full time again.
I worked for Phoenix Technologies, Prime Computer, Sun Microsystems, Agile Networks,
Nexabit Networks, Lucent Technologies, and Axiowave Networks.
I helped design and implement a number of networking devices,
including an intelligent switch and two high speed routers.
I spent the last two years teaching Computer Science at Middlebury College,
and I am now teaching at Merrimack College in North Andover.
I have two daughters: Laila, a graduate of Carleton College,
now
working in Seattle
and Andrea, a graduate of University of Chicago
now living in Oakland.
My wife is a Math Coach, working with teachers
to help change mathematics education in the Boston Public Schools
Standards Work
I am active in the IS-IS Workgroup of the IETF.
IS-IS is a routing protocol that is used to direct traffic inside large Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
T2S5 - A system to generate S5 slides from text
I have been using an HTML system call S5 to present "slides" in class.
This allows students to view the original with any browser.
To simplify the production of HTML slides, I have developed a
small filter I call Text 2 S5 (T2S5) to transform text into the
format S5 expects.
This S5
presentation
gives some background on the tool.
