About Mete

I’m Mete Atamel, a Senior Computer Scientist at Adobe Systems, currently working on open-source BlazeDS and commerical Livecycle Data Services (LCDS) products. My main area of expertise is real-time communication for rich internet applications. I worked on a number features in BlazeDS and LCDS such as HTTP polling, long-polling, streaming, and more recently WebSocket channels to enable real-time connectivity between clients and servers. My language of choice is Java, but I’ve worked with Actionscript, C/C++, Javascript/HTML, Perl, Scheme, and more that I can’t remember right now throughout my career.

In this blog, I intend to talk about Rich Internet Application (RIA) technologies such as Adobe Flex, AIR, BlazeDS, Livecycle Data Services, and anything else that I might find interesting related to my work.

I’m originally from the beautiful island of Cyprus, and as a result I speak fluent English, Turkish, and I’m an avid learned of Greek. I had the privilege to study Computer Science and Mathematics at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania where the famous Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln took place in the United States as a Fulbright Scholar. I also had a minor in Philosophy that I truly enjoyed and I wish I could continue but I chose to continue with Computer Science, mainly because it seemed more lucrative field to be in than Philosophy or Math So I went on to have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Tufts University in Boston. My Master’s project was about using Machine Learning to filter Spam Email, it was pretty successful but not successful enough for me to continue using it today.

I worked at places like Nokia, and EMC before starting to work for Adobe in July 2006.
