From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominick Meglio is a software developer from the United States. His experiences with programming began in 2000 when he began learning the C language. In May of that same year, he began working on the open source project UnrealIRCd under the pseudonym "codemastr" (after a failed business venture at codemastr.com). Since that time, he became an expert in the IRC protocol and worked on numerous (now abandoned) open source projects for IRC networks including SolarStats (a statistics package) and NeoServ (a channel and nickname registration services package).

Dominick Meglio has also participated in numerous other open source projects including libcurl, libcares, libtre, and others. He enjoys working on open source projects, however, he is an ardent opponent to the "GPL virus" that has become prevalent in many open source projects.

In 2002, Dominick began attending East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania (ESU). He entered a degree program in Computer Science and quickly also added a major in Computer Security. In his sophomore year, he also developed an interest in politics and decided to major in Political Science as well. In 2006, he graduated from ESU with a B.S. in Computer Science, a B.S. in Computer Security, and a B.A. in Political Science. He is currently attending ESU to obtain his M.A. in Political Science.

Meglio began his career in the computer industry as an intern at Backbone Security, as part of the requirements for his under graduate degree. In February of 2006, he began working at Right Reason Technologies in East Stroudsburg, PA where he is currently employed as a software developer/analyst. His programming interests include Internet communication protocols (specifically HTTP and IRC protocols), web services, plugin/module system development, object oriented programming (OOP), and recently, an interest in digital video (DV) control using Microsoft DirectShow.

Outside of work, Dominick Meglio enjoys baseball and is an avid New York Mets fan. He spends his time watching baseball, going to baseball games, and playing video games, in particular, the Nintendo Wii.
