Discussions, news and rants from the CTO of Developer Express, Julian M Bucknall

Ph.D. Computer Science

     

I know we have some remarkably clever people working at Developer Express, but I guess I just didn't realize how clever.

Roman Kalachik, one of our senior developers on the WinForms team (he's had a big hand in XtraLayoutControl, the docking code, most recently he's brought XtraGauges to fruition, and he keeps nagging me about Quicktest Professional support) received his Ph.D. in Computer Science last week. Completely nailed his thesis interview, apparently. Brilliant!

And he was doing this whilst he was working at Developer Express. What? We don't give him enough work? Can't keep him occupied? Smile

Do please join me in saying: Congratulations, Roman!

OK, I know, a little over the top, but please allow me a teensy bit of hyperbole. I've been playing

Congratulations Roman!

Splendid achievement from a person who values applications of academics (generally lost to common sense in employment) to Real life problems.

Well done, my Fiancee has just finished her write-up and viva whilst holding down a full-time job, so I know what sort of a strain it can be (I felt it too as I'm the one that had to deal with MSWord to organise documents containing more charts and diagrams than it knew how to handle!).

On the plus side, now that you're not coming home from work and continuing with the write up, your mind can be more focused on innovation at DX. In fact, if there's nothing to go home for any more then I see no reason why you shouldn't be a 24/7 innovation machine!
