the delivery of dozens of key systems and hundreds of releases, both "green fields" and significant legacy modernizations; had zero delivery failures over 8 years.

Opentext Corporation VP September 1995 - August 1999 (4 years) Led the development of several advanced information retrieval systems and features. My teams innovated stream search engine, enterprise-scale text services integration, automated classification/summarization and text analysis, augmented query systems, and personalized/social search.

For its time, it was a world class information retrieval system that pioneered many scale-up, scale-out, and statistical search technologies. It was used successfully by many businesses, such as, publishers like Dow Jones, onlines like AOL, and OEMs like Apple. Designed and delivered many industry firsts, such as, real-time updatable, 2pc transactions, first cd-rom (on Windows, too, and MSFT said it couldn't be done), compressed index, multi-byte charsets, first "large model" MS-Windows app (and MSFT said it couldn't be done). Many of the techniques invented and used are just becoming commonplace for Big Data. Worked with some great people, had some awesome customers.
