In 1980, he co-founded Symbolics, developing software for the Symbolics Lisp Machine. He also participated significantly in the design of the Common Lisp programming language; he was one of the five co-authors of the original Common Lisp specification, Common Lisp: The Language, First Edition. He worked on Statice, an object-oriented database published by Symbolics in 1988.
In 1988, he co-founded Object Design, where he was one of the architects and implementors of ObjectStore, a leading commercial object-oriented database management system Object Database. It is still commercially maintained and available from Progress Software, which bought Object Design (then eXcelon, Inc.).
In 2002, he joined BEA Systems, where he was Operations, Administration, and Management Architect for WebLogic.
In 2006, he joined ITA Software, working on an airline reservation system. In 2009 Daniel Weinreb gave a Google Tech Talk about the use of Common Lisp as one of the implementation languages for the airline reservation system.
In 2009, he was the chair of the International Lisp Conference 2009 in Cambridge/MA.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or life:
“The American character looks always as if it had just had a rather bad haircut, which gives it, in our eyes at any rate, a greater humanity than the European, which even among its beggars has an all too professional air.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“Two such as you with such a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
