Ted Sullivan -
Vice-President/Chief Architect
Ted has over 20 years of experience in a diverse
range of information technologies. His
background includes biomedical research,
mathematics instruction, developing military
planning systems, and numerous eBusiness
solutions. As Chief Architect, Ted
is responsible for keeping Raritan Technologies
at the forefront of search related technologies
(e.g. KM, CMS, collaboration tools,
classification, entity extraction and search
tools).
He brings to this role considerable experience
in systems research and development. In this
role Ted is the architect of the Raritan Search
Integration Framework Toolkit.
Before becoming a co-founder of Raritan, Ted
was a Senior Java Architect for Blueflame Inc,
where he was responsible for designing the
critical application/security code for the HW
Wilson Company's new bibliographic Web system.
He developed several innovative approaches to
combining Java and eXtensible Markup Language
(XML) in Web systems (incorporating Java3D and
VRML). Ted designed sophisticated collaborative
systems for the US Army used in planning and
mission deployment. He also developed
specialized software for the education, medical
insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. At
Raritan, Ted is the chief architect for the
framework suite. This toolkit uses factory
patterns to instantiate configurable components
using an XML file. This approach is very
lightweight and fosters reuse of component code
for many projects.
Ted received a BSc from Cornell University
and a PhD from Washington University. Following
post-doctoral research in neuroscience at the
California Institute of Technology, he joined
the Biology Department at Princeton University
as an Assistant Professor. His
scientific research
focused on the brain mechanisms of
sound perception, which led him to develop
sophisticated computer software for data
acquisition, analysis, and neural network
simulations.
