Direct reports are senior engineering and quality engineering managers and senior architects.

Previously managed the Adobe Carousel (now Adobe Revel) product engineering team in the Professional Digital Imaging group. The Adobe Carousel product is a mobile and desktop photography solution for consumers. Took the product from its initial prototypes to a full commercial version on the iOS and OS X operating systems while building out the engineering and quality engineering teams. The product has been downloaded over four million times in its first two months of release and is currently managing over twenty-one million customer assets.

One of the principal Adobe engineering contacts with ISVs, IHVs and standards bodies on areas of high performance computing, GPUs, and Multi-core development. The team used the scrum development methodology. Primary developer of the Pixel Bender Toolkit application. AIF technology shipped in After Effects CS3/4/5, Photoshop CS4/5, Premiere CS4/5, Flash Pro CS4/5, Flash Player 10 and all other Adobe imaging and video products.

From 2004 to 2005, Project Lead for Adobe Help Center, a new help system with an embedded mySQL database backend which generated HTML views at runtime.

Consultant to Microsoft's Windows CE.NET team. Ported Pocket Excel to Windows CE 4.2, and created an common shell library to unify the API for the many versions of the Windows CE shell.

Architected and did the server-side implementation of an automated media-encoding and digital asset management application directed at companies with large media libraries.

Managed a team of seven engineers using Extreme Programming methodologies to develop a world-class media management, archiving, and productizing solution.

Worked on the Windows Media version 7.0 Encoder application team in the Digital Media Division from August 1999 - July 2000. Designed and implemented significant pieces of the application.

From September 1994 until August 1999, worked in the Virtual Worlds Group of Microsoft Research. The goal of the project was to define the future of multi-user on-line virtual environments. First version of project called V-Chat. Created prototypes of V-Chat, designed significant parts of the software architecture, wrote production code for audio support. Development lead for V-Chat authoring system shipped to all content developers. Following V-Chat, I led a Development group of four to create a next generation authoring tool for virtual environments. That work was shipped in the Microsoft Virtual Worlds Platform v1.0, v1.1, v1.5 and v2.0 releases. The shipped tools were based on a hybrid DHTML and C++, OLE and COM User Interface.

Developed a Renderman interface for the Alive performance animation system. Developed tools for (C)P animators using softImage and Ark, and technical consulted on the Squeezels networked VR game that was being developed.

Executed several projects, including: Gallery, a virtual reality Art Gallery for the Reality Engine Computer, developed with a team of three other people; Trainer, a multimedia computer-based training station for the United Airlines maintenance base, developed with consultation from the United Airlines technology groups; The Out Of Box Experience, a joint project between Silicon Graphics and (Colossal) Pictures. Headed the programming team leading programmers from both companies. This project shipped as part of every SGI Indy system; 3D Annotator, developed a prototype of a product that allows users to attach audio, video clips, images and text to 3D objects. This was later developed into the IRIS Annotator.

Worked on an editing system for the TACTUS multimedia toolkit. Acknowledged in Tactus: toolkit-level support for synchronized interactive multimedia (Dannenberg, Nuendorffer, Newcomer, Rubine, Anderson), Multimedia Systems, Springer-Verlag, 1993
