Top SchoolDennis Hamilton is a veteran computer scientist and interoperability expert with a career spanning more than six decades and 14 years of formal experience listed in recent roles, currently working as an independent consultant and creator of The Miser Project. He has driven document-processing standards and implementations—helping finalize ODF 1.2 and aligning OASIS and ISO specifications—and served in leadership and committer roles at The Apache Software Foundation. Dennis combines deep practical systems architecture from Xerox and Univac-era programming with a long-standing passion for functional programming inspired by early exposure to ISWIM and Peter Landin. His work blends standards advocacy, hands-on architecture, and independent research, focused on making document systems interoperable as public goods. Based in Seattle, he continues to publish and implement ideas from computation theory in practical software, treating The Miser Project as a career capstone. An often-overlooked strength is his sustained ability to translate formal specifications into usable implementations across decades of shifting platforms and standards.
