Resources for IDL developers

About

I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.

I work for Tech-X Corporation, where I am the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.

I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.
