Mr. Crabtree is a senior system/network/database administrator/analyst/designer/programmer/installer/tester/debugger, who has worked in system and module testing, computer operations, support counseling, programming, seminar training and preparation, and documentation preparation and review.
Initial job assignments were on switching system and telephone plant support tools (see "Experience" 7/77 - 10/80 below). Later assignments used data bases (ORACLE, UNIFY, ACCELL, RBASE, Informix, DBASE) on projects developed and used in highly networked high speed LAN computer systems using various networks (STARLAN, ethernet), software, and protocols (TCP/IP, URP, ISO, NFS/YP, XNS, RFS) with screen window managers (Looking Glass, X Windows, MS Windows, FACE/FMLI) in client/server networks.
In system/network/database administration, Mr. Crabtree: does package analysis, benchmarking, and evaluation; builds development environments for heterogeneous hardware, source code tool access, multiversion compiler and development tool projects; purchases hardware and software for embedded applications, documenting the evaluation; understands UNIX (SVR3, SVR4, BSD, Sun) and DOS (MS DOS 5-6, MS Windows 3.1/NT) kernel internals and tuning; installs packages; converts databases; debugs applications; uses relational databases; installs networks (DOS, UNIX), programs (C and C++, assembly, PL/1, FORTRAN, sh); sets up tool development with heavy user interface (110 users on 25 3B2 systems); knows Sun, 6386, 3B2, VAX 750/780/785/8650, TI 1100, PRIME 300, Unisys 5000/6000, Intergraph 125/225/2020, Amdahl 470/570, and IBM PS2, PS/6000, and 360/370/303x systems.
His interpersonal skills are strong; he works well with others, is very organized, and understands the meaning of strict deadlines. Mr. Crabtree is a dedicated team member with excellent skills and performance record.
In C and C++, Mr. Crabtree has worked as a toolsmith, programmer, and administrator on large projects involving OOPS (OOA/OOD), X/Windows, and networking (ISO, TCP/I, X.25, URP, and XDR/RPC)
In analysis and design, Mr. Crabtree has applied several forms, including SADT, Gane and Sarson, Essential Systems Analysis (McMenamin and Palmer), Structured Analysis and Design, Warnier/Orr, Structured Testing and Debugging, Jackson Design By Data Structure, Entity/Relationship Modeling, Object Oriented Programming, and extensible polymorphic typing (Van Wegbreit, EPL/PPL).
In documentation preparation and review, Mr. Crabtree has worked with various text formatting and preparation systems (FrameMaker 2-4, nroff, troff, ditroff, TPLUS, Intergraph DP/Publisher, SGML coding with text import, MS Word for Windows, Word Perfect, Crystal Writer, Word Perfect 4-5 for DOS and UNIX). He has set up and written drivers for printers and terminals for text processing and windowing usage for various printing (lpd, LP, others), windowing (termcap, terminfo, Informix, UNIFY/ACCELL, ORACLE, Vermont Views, others), and document preparation (FrameMaker, Word for Windows, DP/Publisher, ditroff, TPLUS) systems, including font generation, conversion, configuration, and loading. He has worked in a large document environment, setting up text import, export, and conversion procedures, SGML Tagged ASCII auto-import into multistyle autopaginated footnoted multicolumn tabulated text, as well as document subsectioning and storage for large volume and multirevision handling.
In each of these activities Mr. Crabtree has worked with a full range of application areas, both vertical and horizontal:
- document conversion and text processing,
- computer system/network/database administration, installation, configuration, operations, and tuning, in DOS and UNIX
- CAD/CAM and Publishing support,
- system/database administrator training,
- object oriented programming (C++) and toolsmitihng
- multiversion source access development and toolsmithing environments,
- Structured Methods seminar training, tools, and consulting,
- vertical package porting and evaluation,
- customer site evaluation and configuration,
- EM emissions test and certification,
- document format conversions,
- videotext, computer graphics, and windowing,
- application unit and system test, documentation conformance review, and test suite set up,
- realty, telephony support, medical office, hospital records, physician dictation, point of sales packing, inventory and equipment databases,
- data collation, purification, collation, and dissemination tools,
requiring broad analysis/design/implementation/test/installation skills, in both small and large team, formal and informal configuration control and documentation environments. His expertise in UNIX and DOS tools is very high, from long experience, and his ability to absorb new tools and variants is rapid, concise, and succinct.

Lifetime
Contribute to the welfare of the Human Race ( and budgies, cats, dogs, bonobos), and "formalize" this paradigm:
Discrete is to Continuous as Axiomatic Symbolic Mathematics is to What? (Emotions!)
Statement of Philosophy
Aphorisms
Love each one. Reach out. IDIC. (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, Star Trek): Cherish Diversity.
"The Spear in the Heart of Another is the Spear in Your Own."

(Catholic Dogma):
Judge not lest ye be judged.
"Never give in. Never give in. Never. Never. Never."
(Winston Churchill):
Persist.

How to Lead
Try for NASTYness, then get GRUMPI:
- Necessary And Sufficient To Yield:.
Mathematics minimality condition.
(Use only what is needed to do the task at hand)
- Grudgingly, Reluctantly, Use Most Physical Information:
Computer fallback position.
(If you can't do so, carefully use empirical methods)
How to Live
The five E's:
Do The Right Thing (Efficaciousness)
The Right Way (Effectiveness)
Right Now (Efficiency)
Rightly (Ethics).
Right? (Errr ...).
How to Love
Keep it HOT and BOTHERED:
- Humor: Eels are sometimes electric; attorneys always are (grin). (Beware Obsequiousness)
