Professional Interests:
- Advanced C++, particularly development of robust, efficient and standard-conformant code
- Software design patterns
- Large scale software frameworks, such as modular libraries with properly defined API's
- Platform independent Qt applications
- Software build systems, packaging and distribution
- Rendering of very large 3D models (OpenGL and other rendering engines)
Software Languages, Packages and Toolkits:
I work with a variety of development languages, but primarily with C++, python and unix shell scripts. I also use Fortran 90 from time to time and have been involved with multi-language project work to integrate F90 and C++ code bases.
Some packages and toolkits I have found useful and/or work regularly with include:
- Qt from Trolltech: a cross-platform toolkit for just about everything (GUI development, XML, threading, OpenGL, networking, ....) to run just about everywhere (Windows, Linux and Mac).
- SCons: open source, cross-platform python-based build system. Very nice. You can do pretty much whatever you want.
- Subversion: open source version control system. Like everyone else, we use it for a source code repository. If you are currently using CVS, switch to subversion and thank me later.
- VMware: commercial virtualization software suite, but with quite functional and free entry level applications.
- Vtk: open source visualisation tool kit.
- Maya: commercial modelling and rendering package. Commonly used in the film and special effects industries.
