Sometimes, software can be conned into doing things it shouldn't. I work on making software less gullible. I explain this analogy in a bit more detail in my first [post]({% post_url _posts/2022-11-09-software-gullibility %}).
For the bulk of my career, I worked at GrammaTech, a company that spun out from research at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. While there I worked on scores of challenging and interesting projects. Along the way, I co-authored a fair number of papers. However, my charge was always to develop novel technology and win government-funded research contracts. Often those contracts had pre-publication review clauses that hampered public disclosure, at least during the contract.
As a consequence, my digital footprint is relatively small. I did not tweet about the work as it happened. We mostly did not release or contribute to open source projects. We could have published more. With this blog, I plan to expand on and clarify some of our published results.
Of course, I will write about other topics that are of interest to me.
One of my goals is to practice writing. For the time being, I reserve the right to edit past posts without warning or notice. Should I actually attact an audience, I'll change that practice. I feel a long way from having an audience.
