     ' msg ="I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science and Northeastern University in Boston, MA having received my Master's at the University of Colorado at Boulder and BS in Computer Engineering with highest honors at the University of Florida at Gainesville.  I have built and helped build various programming language systems including my a language generator for my undergraduate thesis, the AspectJ Programming Language, the Jikes Research Virtual Machine from IBM, and the Concern Manipulation Environment from IBM.  I am interested in improving the way in which people write programs and build software; both through teaching and through industrial research.  Though much of my past work has involved programming languages and compilers, I have many other skills and can adapt to various tasks to help develop emerging technologies and improve existing ones. $";    \ declare the data.
