James Elliott
James Elliott is a senior software engineer at Berbee, with nearly two decades of
professional experience as a systems developer. His involvement and fascination (some
would say obsession) with computers started long before that, when his middle school
in
Mexico City somehow acquired a strange device labeled “Apple ][” and
it’s been a wild ride ever since. After a globe-trotting childhood, Jim earned his
bachelor’s degree in computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in
upstate New York and his master’s at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with
some interesting stints at Bell Laboratories (Murray Hill, birthplace of C and Unix).
Although he succumbed to the allure of the real world shortly after completing his
Ph.D.
qualifying exams, he was happy to find interesting work in Madison, where he lives
with
his partner Joe Buberger.
