Adam Houghton

Adam Houghton is a Senior Software Developer at SAS and specializes in all things Java. Lately, he's been caught lurking in Ajax and Cocoa, hoping to atone for years of avoiding GUIs. Adam finds Google Web Toolkit to be a perfect fit, since it lets him program snazzy web apps without ever leaving Eclipse. He uses GWT to develop prototypes for SAS' Advanced Computing Lab.

Adam's high tech career began at age 12, running a multi-line bulletin board system from the family living room. He later enjoyed riding the dot-com wave as a server-side Java developer. Adam's software is still chugging away at a diverse range of clients, from Radio City Music Hall to the Texas State Prison System. After moving to Durham, North Carolina, he settled down into the stable world of business software working on OLAP accounting systems and high performance computing.
