While at IPSA, he was a colleague of [[Roger Hui]], Dick Lathwell, [[Gene McDonnell]], [[Roger Moore]], [[Arthur Whitney]], and APL's inventor [[Ken Iverson]]. He continued on after IPSA was acquired by Reuters on 1987-04-01, and left Reuters in 1990 to found Snake Island Research. He works on APL compiler and parallel-processing technology to this day. | ||
