Jose Pascoa is the owner of AtelierWeb Software (http://www.atelierweb.com). We produce security and network software and mixed utilities since 1999. The first program I published (in a BBS) was a MS-DOS utility, had the size of 21 KB and was done in Assembly Language. Nowadays, my low level languages are more likely to be "C", "C++" and "Delphi" rather than Assembly Language but I still like it. I have nothing against more fashionable languages like C# and technologies like WPF, actually I have played with them and published software with them.

I work on an industrial HPC project that can run on either the CPU or the GPU. I usually use which ever one has the most horsepower on a given machine. It's written with CUDA with very few ifdefs used. My company is quite large, in the top five in our industry in North America, and I work in a small group with just five programmers.
