Career Retrospective

1. chsm

   1 1 11 10.0 C++

   Concurrent Hierarchical Finite State Machine language system.

   

   I decided to attend the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I did my thesis on a C++ implementation of statecharts: CHSM. Without trying, CHSM has actually been used in a few production environments such as Philips, Qualcomm, and for the ANTARES neutrino telescope project at CERN.

2. AppSignal

   www.appsignal.com featured

   AppSignal knows why the f*#k it crashed. Stop vibe-debugging. Every exception, every backtrace, grouped so you see patterns, not noise.

   

3. swishxx

   2 1 6 9.0 C++

   Simple Web Indexing System for Humans: C++ version

   

   I decided to write my own indexing and search engine: SWISH++. By simply using balanced binary trees plus mmap instead of traditional I/O, SWISH++’s performance was mere minutes instead of hours.

4. cdecl

   3 30 354 9.5 C

   Composing and deciphering C (or C++) declarations or casts, aka ‘‘gibberish.’’

   

   In the mean time, I still enjoy hacking on various projects such as cdecl and writing my programming blog. Aside from computers, I enjoy gardening, cooking, and hope to do some travel.
