My professional interests have changed somewhat since 2016. (My personal interests are mostly the same.)
Since 2016, I have worked at two different companies:
- ReactiveCore — SaaS for data transformation at scale. Using OWL/RDF ontologies and schemas, OPS-5 rules (“Reactive Rules”), Scala + Spark (backend), and Jupyter + Python (frontend)
- dv01 — SaaS for data services connecting lenders and buyers of securitizations for multiple asset classes, including mortgages (MBS), solar/home efficiency, line of credit, and auto. Using Scala + Spark (backend), Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery
Continuing my earlier work, I am currently most interested in the following core technologies:
- Semantic Web and linked data: Knowledge Graphs (KGs), OWL/RDF, graph databases, SPARQL
- Rules-based systems for forward-chaining (RETE) and backward-chaining (Prolog, Datalog)
- Distributed cloud-based systems based on micro-services
- Relational databases (SQL), data warehouses, data lakes
- DataBricks for end-to-end capabilities
hacking Raspberry Pi for IoT
I’m not going to say a lot about this, just: Raspberry Pi is a great testbed for IoT
90% of the work
“I tell people that I do the first 90% of the work on a new project. Developers do the remaining 90%, and QA makes all of us do the final 90%.”

The problem with Lisp
The author of this post is massively confused, and Lisp implementors should pay attention:

This is a handy cheat sheet for Emacs Slime commands.

If you use Lisp, try Slime – it is a great tool for running a Lisp REPL with completion, syntax coloring, Meta-. (“meta dot”) and more.
CCL 1.8 is in the Mac App Store
CCL (Clozure CL) is an open-source implementation of Common Lisp that runs on Mac OS X, Windows, Gnu/Linux, and variants of Unix. Version 1.8 is now available from the Mac App Store. To download CCL for Mac or other platform, open URL: http://ccl.clozure.com
Overheard on Google+ yesterday:
KT: fuckit building a web site is too much work…
SC: OMG, it’s my new mantra.
K2: lol. I’m putting that on a business card. haha
K1: Pics or didn’t happen!
Thanks KT for the best laugh I’ve had this week.
(With apologies to the many children who stumble on this by accident while researching their term papers on Lisp programming.)
Lisp programming
We use Common Lisp for most projects involving symbolic programming for deployment on general-purpose system platforms. (Mac OS X, Linux, Windows)
We have experience using many implementations of Common Lisp, including
- Clozure CL (formerly OpenMCL)
- SBCL
- Lispworks
