The principals of VectorC, Rob Frost and Ted Bashor, met as classmates at Stanford University and started working together as founding members of the Extricity engineering team building one of the first Java and XML-based B2B workflow products. Most recently both were in the WebLogic Workshop group at BEA Systems.

Ted and Rob have nearly 30 years of combined experience designing and building software for application integration, medical informatics, Java EE and Eclipse projects. Open source work includes contributions to the Eclipse Web Tools Platform and the MuleSource Enterprise Service Bus codebases. Having held leadership roles in almost a dozen commercial and open source product releases, they bring extensive project and development management experience to technically challenging projects.

Rob and Ted also have long standing experience in the semantics and biomedical informatics domains extending from graduate school through work on a commercial Bayesian network knowledge base and diagnostic tool, creation of natural language processing and concept extraction frameworks in the medical domain (e.g. MediClass), semantic technology research at BEA Systems to ongoing participation as an invited expert in the W3C Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group.
