Bob Kline
I am an experienced software developer, whose most recent projects have focused on management of bibliographic and medical information systems, from back end database design to web content delivery. I take pride in creating systems which make the experience of the users more satisfying and productive.
I have decided to retire after a long and satisfying career. In a perfect world, I would have preferred to continue working for another ten years or so, but the current U.S. administration has shut down the programs I have been supporting at the National Cancer Institute, firing all the staff. I considered finding other clients, but I'm old enough to step down now (which most of my contemporaries have already done), so RK Systems is closing its doors. I will miss working alongside my colleagues, but many of us will keep in touch, and I plan to give back to the open-source community, supporting the projects which have served me well over the years. So long!
