The 10-second read

I made programming speak a language people can read

I turn programming from a craft of machine symbols into software engineering anyone can read, test and carry between computers.

Mathematician, early programmer of the Harvard Mark I, compiler pioneer at Remington Rand, and the US Navy's driver of programming-language standards, retiring as a rear admiral.
