** Research
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: research
   :END:

I research methods of automating software development and reverse
engineering tasks.  My work benefits from the understanding of
software as an evolved system.

I am the /Director of Automated Software Engineering/ at GrammaTech,
where I lead the /Program Synthesis/ and /Binary Rewriting/ research
areas.  At GrammaTech I develop techniques automating the analysis,
reverse engineering, maintenance, improvement, and synthesis of
software systems.  These techniques apply variously to software source
code repositories and/or to stripped binary executables.

** Background
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: background
   :END:

- As of August 2018 I am Director of Automated Software Engineering at
  GrammaTech.  At GrammaTech I get to work on the automation of
  software engineering tasks including refactoring, bug-injection,
  decompilation, and binary rewriting for hardening and program
  optimization.
- As of July 2014 I have completed my degree at the University of New
  Mexico and accepted a position at GrammaTech.
- From August 2009 through July 2014 I was enrolled as a doctoral
  student at the University of New Mexico as a member of Stephanie
  Forrest's Adaptive Computation Group.
- For the five years previous to graduate school, I was employed by
  Mitre, a Federally Funded Research and Development Center.  During
  that time I was promoted to the position of /Senior AI Engineer/ and
  played a key technical role supporting project Argus(PDF).
- I completed my undergraduate studies at Kenyon College with a
  semester at the Budapest semester in Mathematics.  I graduated with
  a BA in mathematics and a minor in philosophy.

** Software
   :PROPERTIES:
   :CUSTOM_ID: software
   :END:

I've written, maintained or significantly contributed to the following
software which includes large open-source projects, projects currently
under active development at GrammaTech, and small utilities (presented
in order of significance and activity).

- SOFTWARE-EVOLUTION-LIBRARY (SEL) is a common lisp library for the
  programmatic modification and evaluation of software.  See the SEL
  Manual for more information.
- Binary Analysis and Reverse Engineering.  See this blog post
  announcing the open-source release of these tools.
  - GTIRB Intermediate Representation for Binary analysis and
    transformation.  Includes a Protobuf specification and a reference
    C++ library.
  - ddisasm A fast and accurate disassembler.  A Datalog engine powers
    this high performance re-assemblable disassembler
  - gtirb-pprinter Pretty printer from GTIRB to assembly code
- Manipulation of C-language (and other) Abstract Syntax Trees:
  - clang-mutate manipulates C-family ASTs with Clang
  - cil-mutate manipulates C Intermediate Language ASTs with CIL
  - llvm-mutate manipulates LLVM IR with an LLVM compiler pass
- CURRY-COMPOSE-READER-MACROS for concise expression of function
  partial application and composition in Common Lisp.  I've also
  implemented something similar for Emacs Lisp in curry-compose.el.
- GRAPH is a Common Lisp library for graphs manipulation and analysis.
- Babel adds /literate programming/ and /reproducible research/
  functionality to Org-mode, a major mode of the Emacs text editor.
- Rinari is a /Ruby on Rails/ minor mode for Emacs.
- Manipulation of ELF files:
  - elf a CLOS based API for Elf file manipulation in Common Lisp
  - rw-elf a simpler C library for ELF file manipulation
- DELTA-DEBUG is a Common Lisp delta debugging implementation.
# - tracer is a simple =ptrace= based utility for tracing the execution
#   of x86 assembly code.
- ONCs is a prototype fully distributed lisp virtual machine.
# - gpolygon is a toy steady state genetic algorithm which matches
#   polygons to images.  It runs entirely in the browser making heavy
#   use of the HTML5 canvas element.

# - Emacs Starter Kit is a structured extensible default configuration
#   for Emacs implemented using literate Org-mode files.
# - el-go is an Emacs mode for playing the game of Go.
# - data-wrapper wraps text data in a portable shell script enable
#   sharing of both data and analysis
# - ixm-collector allows IXM's to report back to central collector
# - ixm-repl allows interaction with a tribe of IXM from within a
#   Clojure repl
