I am a 1982 graduate of the Computer Science programme at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Having specialised in Scientific and Engineering applications, I was quite naturally drawn to Oberon/F and its successor development environments. I have been developing modules in Component Pascal on my own for quite some time now and have recently created a reusable sparse matrix handling component that I hope to bring to market.

Over the years since 1982, I have been involved in a significant number of software development projects in computer graphics, military
systems software, remote sensing applications, space technology and hydrology/meteorology applications. These projects have been implemented in C, Smalltalk, FORTRAN, Delphi and Java for the most part.

I am a great believer in keeping the growth of complexity to a minimum and so fully appreciate Oberon-2 and its successors as the most elegant software development environment I know of.
