Ron Baker started his career in the aerospace industry, designing and writing numerical programs for engineering graphics and robotics applications. As relational databases began to appear, Ron was one of the early designers of their use in large-scale financial and configuration management systems at Boeing. After several years, he moved into research on database parallelism and integrity constraints at Amoco's Computing Research Center. Next he worked on the B-2 Stealth Bomber as an Engineering Configuration Database Specialist, where he addressed transitive closure problems like bill-of-material processing and reconciliation between configurations.
