From 1978 to 1980 he represented IBM in joint distributed systems work with Stanford University, taking two years from 1980 to 1982 to obtain a Masters Degree in Computer Science. Following that, he spent ten years at IBM in Palo Alto California, and Cambridge, MA doing work on distributed systems, parallel systems, programming languages, and educational computing systems. From 1985 to 1987 he represented IBM at MIT Project Athena. In 1992 he left IBM to join Lotus Computing, rejoining IBM 3 years later when Lotus was acquired by IBM. His focus at Lotus was on distributed object technologies including Microsoft COM/OLE and OpenDoc.
