curriculum vitae

After working for the Scholarly Technology Group from 1996 through November of 1999, Richard was seconded to Brown University's Computing and Information Services to work on special projects, including the design of a university-wide Web authentication infrastructure.

In 2001 Richard abandoned his full-time position at Brown to do independent consulting for various clients including the Nature Conservancy, Countrywide Home Loans, and Brown University itself. Although Richard continues to do occasional independent consulting, primarily with existing clients, the lion's share of his time is currenty spent at Carleton College, where he serves as Web Technical Administrator.

During his tenure at STG Richard provided UNIX programming support, system administration (NFS, POP, DHCP, DNS, HTTP daemons, etc.), and project consulting. He has contributed expertise in client/server TCP/IP, full-text retrieval, systems and XML parsers and validation facilities. Favorite projects included the development of Brown's pass-through proxy server and the first full, working online XML validation service. Built on much of the same source code is also the new OEB validation service.

Before coming to STG Richard served as a programmer/analyst for the Afroasiatic Index Project, and as a lecturer in Near Eastern languages and civilizations, both at the University of Chicago. He has published articles and given talks on natural language processing, Semitic epigraphy, comparative philology, and biblical Hebrew phonology and morphology.

Richard received an M.A. in Bible from Yale University in 1985 and a Ph.D. in Near Eastern languages and civilizations from the University of Chicago in 1993
