Biography

Ron has a long history in the APL community. He first encountered APL\360 in 1969, and used it to teach Computer Science courses in the High Schools of Hampton, Virginia. Between 1972 and 1986 he wrote several applications in APL, and was involved in several different mainframe implementations as well as the Analogic APL Machine. For the next 30+ years, his focus was on non-APL environments for Microsoft, Amazon, and an Internet Television start-up. During those years he continued to use APL notation as a design tool and to work  out implementation strategies. In 2020, he joined Dyalog Ltd as a member of the development team, and is now deep in the details of Dyalog APL and how to expand its capabilities.
