Thomas Lockhart

Thomas Lockhart began his technical career working in the field of Very Long Baseline Interferometry as a data analyst and systems developer for VLBI correlators at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a NASA facility in Pasadena, California. He designed and built the systems used for data collection, transmission, assembly, and integrated data management for the NASA Global GPS Network implemented in the 1990s. This system uses Ingres, a commercial RDBMS, as the data management backbone of the near-real-time data collection system, and handles ~300MB of GPS tracking data per day.

He has implemented data acquisition systems on a global scale, and is familiar with the communications issues related to data acquisition and delivery throughout the world.

Fluent with C++, C, Fortran, FORTH, Pascal, SQL, Ingres4GL, perl, lex, yacc, Tom has also acquired systems experience with Linux, HPUX, SunOS/Solaris, DEC (Unix and VMS). He is an active participant in Open Source software development, including TAO (a real-time CORBA package) and as a core member of the PostgreSQL group.
