Most recently I worked for mVerify (http://www.mVerify.com ) doing GUI development for software used to test mobile devices. The company had to lay everyone off in March, 2008 so I now find myself looking for employment. I hope to find a job in or near Chicago but sadly I've come to the realization I may have to move to find a job so I'm not totally ruling that out given how much time has now passed.
I was originally introduced to Tcl when I was hired to rewrite all of a company's GUIs which were written in Tcl. This was circa 1995. The company was Healthcare Communications which made the Cloverleaf integration engine. It used Tcl/Tk for the product GUIs and used Tcl as the scripting component of the product. Except for a one year stint doing (ouch) Java (ouch!) and a short stint at C++ (ouch ouch ouch!) I've been doing Tcl scripting ever since, mostly client side. Prior to discovering Tcl I did a lot of work with FORTRAN and C.
I've written a couple of free widgets (combobox and mclistbox), an almost-widget (supertext -- a text widget with unlimited undo ala emacs) and contributed to the tkdiff project. I also started a wizard widget but haven't found the time to bring it out of beta status. I have been a frequent contributor to comp.lang.tcl under the email address oakley@bardo.clearlight.com.
In my spare time I'm working on a personal information manager / personal wiki -type application, partially for my own use. It is a test bed for me to get familiar with the tile widget set and sqlite, and serves as a place for me to experiment with some slightly novel user interface ideas.
