and hasn't looked back. A polyglot programmer, who started with BASIC and
assembly, his journey through C, Perl, and PHP led to JavaScript and the browser
in 1995. He was immediately hooked on a vision of browsers as the software delivery
mechanism of the future. By 1997 he had formed Simple.com, a technology company
selling the world's first JavaScript-based application development framework,
patenting several technologies and techniques that have proven prescient. Node
represents for him only the natural next step in an inevitable march towards the
day when all software implementations, and software users, are joined within
a collaborative information network.
He has led the design of enterprise-grade applications for some of the largest
companies in the world, including Nintendo, Major League Baseball, Bang and
Olufsen, LimeWire, and others. He has displayed interactive media exhibits during
the Venice Biennial, won design awards, built knowledge management tools for
research institutes and schools, and has started and run several startups. Always
seeking new ways to blend design excellence and technical innovation, he has
made significant contributions across all levels of software architecture, from data
management and storage tools to innovative user interfaces and frameworks.
He now works to mentor a new generation of developers also bitten by the
collaborative software bug, especially the rabid ones.view less
