I'm [http://www.scguild.com/usr/1707I.html>>Jan Theodore Galkowski], a.k.a. [disneylogic] in the discussions, and this is my Tcl'ers Wiki home page. I have a [http://www.algebraist.com>>Web site] and a [http://www.algebraist.com/tkblog/>>blog] if you are interested. [http://www.algebraist.com/DolphinExcursions/jan.jpg] I'm a contract software and database developer, and also test engineer. I own a small business, '''The Smalltalk Idiom''', which specializes in laboratory workflow software and in inexpensive data warehousing and BI solutions for small businesses. I also do road warrior gigs for bigger clients helping them with databases and with system acceptance testing. More about me can be found [http://www.realrates.com/listings/GalkowskiJan.htm>>here]. '''The Smalltalk Idiom''' used to specialize in software written in [http://www.goodstart.com/>>Smalltalk] but the needs of clients, the times, and the technology argues for faster development processes and models. As a devoted Smalltalk developer and avid LISP programmer with 'lots' of experience in many languages, I've settled on Tcl/Tk as my standard development vehicle. Indeed -- and probably to the great annoyance of Tcl/Tk experts -- my Tcl/Tk style 'looks' like it's Smalltalk. But, then, that's the point of '''The''' '''''Smalltalk''''' '''''Idiom'''''. Background? B.S., Physics, 1974, Providence college. S.M. EE & Computer Science, MIT, 1976, with RA and TA at the Tute's late great Artificial Intelligence Lab. I was at IBM Federal Systems Division in Owego, NY, from 1976 until the IBM division was sold to Loral in 1994. I remained there until 1995 when I set out on my own as a contract developer. I have been doing that since, with a 3-year stint at Cornell University. I'm back on the road again. Recently I've been working laboratory workflow software using [http://www.pervasive.com/>>Pervasive.SQL], a relational database, and Tcl/Tk. I am also interested in [Ted Nelson]'s [ZigZag] and am pursuing [http://www.algebraist.com/>>ANON], based upon some of Ted's ideas.
