Very cool, but I have no idea what he does exactly. Programmer? Designer? Scientist?

It's not his CV it's a biography of the stuff you don't put in a CV.

(his CV is on the site.

http://worrydream.com/#!/cv/bret_victor_resume.pdf

He's a Hardware Designer + Programmer + UI Designer + Scientist + Electronics Engineer.

Oh, and he designed the original UI for the iPad)

lol @ the sublime way you replied to the parent query .. it is his journey that is truly remarkable.. rare to see someone this multiskilled. The man's a diamond. Reminds me of Pavel Florensky[1] strangely.

Ironically, the CV has no dates!

All of the above. He trained as an electrical engineer first.
