I am an Intel software architect working on efficient, productive, and high-level solutions to parallel programming. I joined the Performance and Productivity Libraries group in 2009 when Intel acquired RapidMind, which I co-founded. My interests and experience range across parallel computing, programming language design, compiler optimization, visual computing, systems programming, and computer graphics. I'm always interested in finding better ways to develop software that build from computer science's rich history, but question assumptions that have become entrenched in the way we work.
