Formerly Senior
Internet Engineer for Webvan Group, Inc., a
high-profile home delivery startup.
This website was a large scale, load-balanced, Windows NT/IIS-based,
using Active Server Pages and ISAPI. DLL's with an Oracle back-end.
I was
with this operation essentially from its inception (joining as employee #25 or so), and
developed the very first webvan.com prototype as used in the
"road show" and continued to play a significant part in its
technology decisions, architecture and deployment. Certain parts of my work at Webvan, particularly those having to do with a unique
compression algorithm, were patented and I was listed as “inventor"
of these technologies on the patent.
Before
that, I was Senior Internet Engineer for Macromedia, Inc., best known for
"Director" and "Shockwave" where I was lead engineer on
an extension to their product, "Dreamweaver". While there, I developed the first
Drag-and-Drop DHTML code as well as a number of complex DHTML objects like a
slider control, progress bars and decision trees. I also developed a predictive
downloading algorithm based on Markov chains that was ultimately patented.
