Vanessa Freudenberg

Vanessa designed Croquet’s client/server architecture, and implemented its client framework as well as the networking protocol and global Edge Reflector infrastructure. A former member of Alan Kay’s research group, she has been developing interactive systems for more than 20 years with a focus on live, self-supporting architectures (including Squeak Etoys, Scratch, Lively, Frank, and even a revival of Smalltalk-78). Vanessa’s PhD was awarded for new real-time non-photorealistic 3D rendering techniques.
