Cuprak News
Welcome to my website! If you checkout my photo album you'll see that I did quite a bit of traveling for TurboWorx (now defunct). Although I am an e-Formulation Analyst at Enginuity, based on my role at TurboWorx I would describe myself as a pre-sales/professional services engineer.
Don't forget to checkout the Connecticut Java Users Group which I run. |

Grand Canyon Grand Tour |
|
Pictures of the Grand Canyon tour are now up. Yinli, her cousin, and I visited the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce National Park, and Zion National Park. Flew in and out of Las Vegas, NV. Drove a total of 1205 miles and saw some spectacular scenery. Checkout the pictures and trip information. |

Open Source Survey Presentation |
|
I did a presentation for the Connecticut Java Users Group which surveyed a variety of open source projects. In my opinion, developers often re-invent the wheel rather than looking to open source. Although some take it a little too far. This presentation looked at some common projects as well as several which were interesting but possibly overkill. In 2007 why should anyone be writing a routine from scratch to copy a file or generate a checksum? |

MIT Whitehead Project |
|
After many months of toil and multiple trips to Boston, the imaging pilot project for CSBi is finally complete. The workflow runs a on a mixture of SGI IRIX and linux SMP machines. I wrapped up most of the image processing operations from Hyugens. The summary report can be viewed here (WorkflowOverviewV3.doc) |

Cuprak.net is back! |
|
After a long delay cuprak.net is finally back on the web. My site is now hosted by Eapps which will hopefully be a bit more reliable than old 233 mhz iMac on dhcp. I'll be adding more content over the next couple of weeks. |

TurboWorx Enterprise Demo |
|
After many months of work I put together an image processing power point presentation that demos the TurboWorx Enterprise system. So if you are wondering exactly TurboWorx does or I do - checkout the demo! I wrapped practically all of the JAI components - completely automated the process with custom XDoclet bindings that output component definitions for TWE. Note: the image processing is kinda cheesy - would have preferred something more scientific! |

Presentation on Java Preferences @ CT Java SIG |
|
I did a co-presentation with Carl Miller, President of COOUG, at the April Java SIG meeting. Carl covered LDAP whereas I covered the basics of the Java Preferences API. Not exactly the best API but it does have a leg up on property files. |

JDJ Article Published |
|
Look for my review of Zion's JBuddy Message Server in the current issue of the Java Developer Journal (JDJ). I constructed a "Build Buddy" application that sends out notifications when an ant script successfully completes. The JBuddy Message Server provides a common API to interact with all of the major IM services transparently. |

Computation Vision & Biological Perception Course |
|
Through connections at TurboWorx and have been able to wiggle my way into attending a course at Yale - Computational Vision and Biological Perception. Truely the best benefit of TurboWorx! May Update: didn't miss a single lecture and the course and the professor were awesome - need to improve my knowledge of differential calculus though. |
