I am working on Dynamic Languages and Tools at Sun Microsystems, where I am currently focusing on Python.
Prior to working for Sun, I was the manager of the Cosmo team at the Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF), and a contributor to OSAF’s Chandler Personal Information Manager. I was also responsible for community development, using my experiences as a member of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) to help OSAF bootstrap a vibrant community around Cosmo and Chandler.
My involvement with the ASF continues - I am a member of the the Public Relations Committee, and a member of the Incubator Project Management Committee, where I am helping new projects acclimatize to the Apache environment. I am one of the mentors for the Erlang based CouchDB project. I am also very happy to be involved with the new Apache Labs Project Management Committee. One of the original developers of the Xerces-J XML parser, I was a founding member of the Apache XML Project. Fellow ASF-member Thom May, and I operate the PlanetApache community weblog.
Prior to working at OSAF, I worked for several years as an independent consultant focusing on Java, XML, and web services. I was the technical lead for IBM’s XML4J parser, which served as the initial code base for the Java version of the Xerces-J parser. Other projects I have worked on include Apple’s Newton PDA, and on the compound document portion of Taligent’s object-oriented frameworks.
I did graduate work at Brown University, where I worked on data models and query languages for object oriented databases. I earned a bachelors degree in Mathematics at MIT.
My book, Professional XML Development with Apache Tools, was published by Wrox in December 2003. In addition, I have authored several trade magazine articles and academic papers.
I have spoken at numerous industry conferences including OSCON, PyCon, ApacheCon, Software Development, and IBM’s Solutions Developer Conference.
My weblog (blog), Ted Leung on the air, contains thoughts on open source, modern programming languages, Mac OS X, microcontent, and photography.
