`Employment Experience
`
`2013-present: Fifth Chance Media LLC
`
`Design and develop Facebook application for the creation of electronic baby
`books
`
`2006-present: expert witness
`
`I have served as a software expert witness and also as an expert witness in
`cases regarding Internet software patents. I am qualified to serve as
`an aviation expert witness or a relational database expert witness.
`
`1997-present: various advisory and corporate boards
`
`Serve as an independent member of various advisory and corporate boards,
`mostly for technology companies. Example: Joined corporate board of MIT
`materials science spin-off in late 2005 during $550,000 seed capital phase.
`Stepped down when company secured $10 million in venture capital in mid-
`2007.
`
`1991-present: Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
`Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
`
`Teach and expand the MIT computer science curriculum, conduct research,
`and supervise student research.
`
`1993-2000; 2006-2007: photo.net
`
`Started, programmed, financed, and managed this online learning
`community as a personal hobby. Spun it off in 2000 to a team of
`entrepreneurs who attempted to make it a profitable business. Took it back
`over in mid-2006 to clean up the content, software, and balance sheet
`(crippled with debt). With 600,000 registered users and 60 million page
`views per month, sold the company in April 2007 to NameMedia.
`
`1997 through March 2000: ArsDigita Corporation
`
`Started, financed, and managed this company, which developed an open-
`source toolkit for building collaborative Internet applications. Grew the
`company profitably from 5 part-time people to 80 full-timers and revenue of

`

`$20 million per year. Between January and March 2000, negotiated and
`closed a $38 million venture capital investment from Greylock and General
`Atlantic Partners. Handed over the reins to a team of professional managers
`brought in by the venture capitalists.
`
`February 1988 through August 1990: Isosonics Corporation
`
`Founded company to develop a product that stored digital data with
`consumer video recorders. Co-designed custom digital signal processor.
`Developed simulation environment, complete simulator for digital audio
`recorder (1.4 Mbits/second), microcode compiler on the Symbolics Lisp
`Machine. Used Lisp tools to develop error correction microcode and refine
`DSP architecture. Co-designed three phase locked loops. With partners,
`developed system for auditing television broadcasts nationwide by
`monitoring commercials and compiling reports for advertisers. We designed
`a single board that tunes a chosen channel, recognizes tagged advertisements
`and makes a record for each ad of time of broadcast, number of fields, video
`quality and color burst presence. Served as president of Isosonics from its
`inception until its dissolution.
`
`April 1986 through November 1989: ConSolve Incorporated
`
`Co-founded this construction automation company. With partner, developed
`initial product, obtained financing (from PaineWebber Ventures), hired
`software development, marketing and support staff, established R&D
`partnership with Tektronix, obtained government contracts and sold
`software. Was active participant in all important planning, legal, and
`management activities. Wrote every line of code in the first system shipped
`to a customer (Caterpillar).
`
`November 1984 through August 1985: ICAD, Inc.
`
`Co-founded company with three partners. With Patrick O'Keefe, developed
`Lisp software to automate mechanical engineering. The ICAD System was
`initially primarily intended for large steel structures, e.g., air-cooled heat
`exchangers, offshore oil rigs, coal-fired power plants, but has been extended
`to many general ME problems.
`
`Company went public in January 1995 as Concentra with a market valuation
`of $50 million and was subsequently acquired by Oracle Corporation.

`

`June 1983 through November 1984: Symbolics, Inc.
`
`Developed VLSI tools, including automatic layout functions and worked on
`the system architecture for the Ivory microprocessor (the base of all
`Symbolics products sold in the late 1980s). Wrote parts of the Symbolics
`operating system.
`
`June 1982 through June 1983: Hewlett-Packard Labs
`
`Wrote packet-switched network simulation software on Symbolics Lisp
`Machine. Helped architect, simulate and design prototype of HP's Precision
`Architecture RISC computer. The prototype took two man-years to complete
`and ran at VAX 11/780 speed in June 1983. This architecture became the
`basis of HP's computer product line for 15 years and then became the basis
`for the 64-bit generation of Intel processors.
`
`1978 to 1982
`
`Paid tuition and living expenses through MIT with employment and contract
`work for Wang Laboratories, Verbex Corporation, National Aeronautics and
`Space Administration (database management system and data analysis
`software for Pioneer Venus orbiter), and other organizations.
`
`Education (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
`
`Ph.D. 1999 in electrical engineering and computer science. Thesis
`title: Architecture and Implementation of Online Communities.
`
`S.M. 1993 in electrical engineering and computer science. Thesis title: Site
`Controller: A system for computer-aided civil engineering and construction.
`
`S.B. 1982 in mathematics. Completed coursework for electrical engineering
`S.B. with emphasis on digital systems and signal processing. Took
`undergraduate and graduate computer science courses, with an emphasis on
`algorithms. Took graduate courses in microeconomics and neurophysiology.
