Hello Rob I am Spreadsheet team leader for Lotus Symphony Development. I participated with several work related with OpenOffice from 2002. I did performance improvement for Symphony start up, document loading and saving. I fix issues and add new features for Spreadsheet. I implemented a well known feature, side bar and property panel for Symphony. I contributed several issue fix to OpenOffice.
I have software performance knowledge and experience, such as performance testing, profiling, analysis. I also have some knowledge about OpenOffice in framework and Spreadsheet component.
