Before starting his own consulting company in 1988, Norm held the position of Principal Engineer/Research Professor in the University of Portland's Applied Research Center. He is an expert in the areas of specification and design methodologies and CASE tools. He has special interests in the areas of specification for human interface intensive problems and bringing engineering discipline to the practice of developing object-oriented programs.
His projects have ranged from the development of a real-time intensive automated factory floor, and robotics to user interface intensive application programs and multi-user data intensive information systems in Smalltalk and C++.
Before joining the U. of P., Norm spent ten years working for Tektronix in a variety of positions.
