Paul Haddad has spent the last eleven years developing software for the NEXTSTEP, OPENSTEP and now Mac OS X environments.
As an undergraduate at the University of Arizona Paul developed several commercial NEXTSTEP applications. VWall a network messaging application, was one of the first commercial applications to use NeXT's DO messaging system. In developing VWall Paul design several reusable OO frameworks that were later used in his next commercial application TypeOlogy. TypeOlogy is a postscript font editor for NEXTSTEP, its OO architecture allowed for dynamic loading of font editing tools at runtime.
In 1995 after graduating with a bachelor's degree in computer engineering Paul went to work at IOA Re in King of Prussia, Pa as lead developer. There he worked on CMS a cross platform relational database OO application that was used to manage reinsurance contracts, billings and claims. CMS was built on top of a custom OO toolkit that allowed the application to be run on both NEXTSTEP and Windows 3.1. He added several reusable frameworks for things such as error logging and report printing. As part of an effort to better serve the user community he developed an enhancement tracking application that allowed users to submit and track application enhancements.
In 1996 Paul moved to Fairfax, Va to work as a team lead for MCI. At MCI Paul worked on a NEXTSTEP multi-tier system used for the provisioning of telephone circuits. He designed and implemented OO frameworks used for CORBA messaging and Database Access. As part of his responsibilities he managed and mentored several junior developers working on this system.
In 1998 Paul started working for Apple computer in Reston, Va. His main responsibilities were providing support for fortune 500 WebObjects and OPENSTEP customers and mentoring the junior support personnel.
In 1999 Paul started working for Targetbase Marketing in Dallas, Tx out of his home office. His first job was to convert their existing application from OPENSTEP 4.2 to WOF 4.0. His next big project will be converting their existing Informix DB access framework to Oracle.
