From 1994 to 1997 I lived in New York City working as a teacher
of English as a second language, a translator, and then a computer
consultant. I put together some documents (Postscript generated
from TeX) while teaching English as a Second Language:
From early 1990 to 1994 I lived in Paris at 6 rue Saint Sulpice
and worked in the Chloe Project at the INRIA in
Rocquencourt (the project no longer exists, sadly). I worked on
a system called
Centaur, an generator of programming language environments,
that was produced by the Croap
project at INRIA Sophia and managed by Gilles Kahn. I was
responsible for all of the documentation and published several
INRIA reports about this work:
I worked at the INRIA Sophia
from approximately September 1989 until January 1990 in the Croap
project on Centaur. I lived in the back of a small house outside
the village of Opio.
I got a Master's Degree in Software Engineering from the Cerics
in Sophia Antipolis, France from the fall of 1988 until the
summer of 1989. My fellow students included Arnaud Le Hors,
Vincent Prunet, Renaud Marlet, and young colleague Daniel Dardailler.
I arrived in France in the fall of 1987 to work at the Ecole des Mines de Paris in
Sophia Antipolis, France. I had a one year "stage" (internship)
that lasted until the fall of 1988.
I graduated from Yale in May
1987, where I majored in Electrical Engineering. My primary fun
activity there was in an improvisational comedy group known as the
Purple Crayon, founded
in 1985 by Eric Berg and 14 others of us. The group continues to
this day.
