His day job > serves as a ongoing personal experiment on how to, and how not to, transfer > technology. His open source work has created a tool downloaded by 47,000+ > developers. His recent chairing of five industrial tracks in software > engineering (e.g., ICSE, FSE, ICPC, SANER, ICSME) gave him deep insight > into the challenges and successes of others' transfer efforts. His recent > project, the FlowLight, which had exposure on venues like The Wall Street > Journal and BBC Radio, opened his eyes to the impact of popular > publications. Finally, his position as the Co-Editor-In-Chief of the > Journal of Systems and Software gives him a more permanent platform to > encourage industrial publications.
