Don Ferguson has been deeply involved in all aspects of software development for over 20 years. His Software Engineering career started at Quintus, a leading Artificial Intelligence language vendor. As the AI market waned, Don spearheaded the effort that transformed Quintus into a CRM solutions company. Don left Quintus for the Price Waterhouse R&D lab where he developed EdgarScan, a patented method for parsing financial data from public filings.
With the rise of the Internet, Don joined WebLogic, a small Java startup, as a key member of the engineering team. After WebLogic was acquired by BEA, Don transitioned to management where he ran the Core Server team, and WebServices. Don joined Terracotta as VP of Engineering, where he oversaw the 1.0 release of Terracotta’s java virtualization server. Don left Terracotta to run engineering at Doppelganger, a teen virtual world, where he built the engineering team from scratch, and released the first public version of their product.
Don holds a Bachelors degree from Brandeis University.
