Hello, there. I've been an application developer for many years and really enjoy programming, thinking about program design issues, and applying programs to solve real-world problems. I also have a good amount of practical experience with databases, networking, and business. Returning to school has been a real joy. My interests are programming languages, compilers and interpreters, and program analysis. I am a graduate of Purdue in Math and CS. At this point in life, I have no hobbies, but instead I am sidekick to Wendy, my wife, and together we have two munchkins, Lily and Ronnie, who would have corrected me if I had said 'Veronica' :-).
