Resume and Curriculum Vitae of Rich Drewes

• Artificial intelligence, from a dynamic biological (i.e. not Physical Symbol System) perspective
  
• Genetic and evolutionary computation
  
• Complex systems
  
• Game and graphics programming
  
• Rapid application development, particularly using modern scripting languages
  
• Open source software development methodology and tools
  

• 1991-1994: Cofounded The Renaissance Group, Inc.

  Helped create initial product system including a reliable multicast network protocol, SS7 and ISDN PRI interface modules, switch control applications. Performed various management roles including CEO. Helped negotiate and organize sale of company to Precision Systems, Inc.

• 1994-2000: Founded Interstice Inc.

  Launched a regional ISP (Internet Service Provider) providing consumer and business dialup, ISDN, Frame Relay, web hosting, and DSL service. Sold customer base to Nanospace Inc.

• Brainlab, A toolkit to aid in the design, simulation, and analysis of spiking neural networks with the NCS environment
  
• pytele, Python extensions for telephony
  
• spam-nn, An artificial neural network spam classifier
  Written back before it was all the rage.
  
• Tremor, A 3D graphics engine
  The BSP (binary space partition tree) based PVS (potential visibility set) portion of Tremor was licensed by a game company for use in a Sony Playstation title.
