  Bowne Internet Solutions

  Adobe Systems

  remote employee in Toronto

  I have worked on several compiler and VM projects at Adobe. Initially hired to improve the ActionScript Virtual machine Just in Time Compiler

  my time at Adobe has coincided with a period of great turbulence at the company. In hindsight

  our ambitious technical strategy for ActionScript became irrelevant as Adobe's Creative Cloud strategy evolved.

  I had the incredible good fortune to be hired at the very beginning of development of a new optimizer for a new set of compilers for a new family of RISC computers. My first assignment was to develop the global register allocator for TOBEY

  the optimizer behind IBM's family of RS/6000 AIX compilers. (C

  FORTRAN

  PASCAL). Later

  I used my UNIX skills to assist in the bringup of AIX 3.1. (eventually serving as team leader for TOBEY's third release.) The optimizer was very successful. (See Steven S Muchnick

  Alias StudioPaint

  A high performance 2D and 3D painting application for SGI workstations that made extensive use of the GPUs of the time to offload computation. As a result of my efforts

  much of the paint engine from this application has wound up in the Alias & Autodesk Sketchbook line of products.\n
