Glen Low

Senior Software Developer - BSc

Apple Design Award

Glen holds a Bachelors degree in Mathematics. Prior to joining Capitalhead he spent the early 90's finding himself. While a graphic designer, game show contestant, science fiction magazine editor, youth group leader, comic book publisher, he found he was still a half-decent programmer and decided to move to Perth and make his bread and butter from it. Now with over 9 years of experience in C, C++, C# and Java, contracted to Rio Tinto, Western Power and WorleyParsons and using the Windows platform, he's returned to his first love.

Rumor has it Glen got only the second Macintosh available in Singapore, and has had a Mac or two since that day in 1984. He remembers it well -- reading breathlessly his fresh copy of "Inside Macintosh", then tinkering with Quickdraw to make little lines dance across a tiny 512x342 pixel screen. (How little and how much has changed since then!)

His Altivec-optimized SIMD toolkit macstl is well-regarded in numerics and high-performance circles since 2003. His port of Graphviz to Mac OS X took two prizes in the Apple Design Awards 2004: Winner for Best Open Source Product and Runner-Up for Best New Product.

We are extremely proud to have him on our team.
