Summary

I am a software engineer fascinated by the software life cycle. I enjoy

assisting a software development team in developing and deploying

automated, consistent and deterministic development processes including

source code change management, software build and release processes. As

an installation developer and a staunch advocate of the customer, I strive

to develop installation applications that are self-explanatory, easy to use

and provide a consistent first use experience across multiple products.

I have a broad range of experience with computer operating systems, server

and storage hardware, server and storage virtualization platforms and the

infrastructure that interconnects them. I have managed development labs

providing a software development team with the services necessary to ensure

consistent productivity.

Achievements

4+ years at VERITAS Software Corporation managing the software life cycle

of the Windows 2000 Logical Disk Manager (LDM). Worked on site at

Microsoft’s Redmond, Washington campus as liaison between the VERITAS

Volume Manager development team in Mountain View, California and the

Microsoft Windows 2000 storage management development team. Managed LDM

source code transfers and integrations between the teams’ disparate

revision control tools. The process was automated where possible.

Provided technical support for LDM to the Windows 2000 development team.

3+ years at VERITAS Software Corporation designing, implementing and

managing an automated cross platform revision control, software build and

packaging project for the VERITAS Array Integration Layer (VAIL). Used CVS

to manage source code revision changes including branching the source tree.

The Windows Server build process was based on the build framework available

in the Windows Server 2003 DDK. Build automation was achieved using Windows

Command shell batch scripts and the DDK’s BUILD.EXE utility. The UNIX

(HP/UX, IBM AIX, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Solaris and SuSE Linux

Enterprise Server builds were automated using BASH shell scripts and

Perforce JAM as the build utility. The JAVA GUI component was built on the

Windows Server 2003 platform using Windows Command shell scripts. The

software packaging was implemented using native platform installation

services - AIX installp, HP/UX swinstall, RHEL and SLES RPM, Solaris pkgadd

and Microsoft Installer service using Microsoft’s MSI authoring tool WiX.

All package builds were integrated into the automated build process. The

automated build process labeled the source tree, published the installation

packages and sent build notifications via email regarding the results of

the build. This project also required international localization for the

JAVA based GUI and software installer packaging.

6+ years at VERITAS Software Corporation, Brocade Software Corporation,

Inc. and GE Healthcare designing and implementing cross platform software

installation packages using native and third party installation services.

Installation services include AIX installp, HP/UX swinstall, RHEL and SLES

RPM, Solaris pkgadd, Microsoft Installer service using Microsoft’s MSI

authoring tool WiX, Flexera Software’s InstallShield for Windows and

InstallAnywhere. The native platform installation services were used to

package VAIL. Used Flexera Software’s InstallShield for Windows to package

Brocade’s Application Resource Manager (ARM) while Flexera Software’s

InstallAnywhere was used for the cross platform installation of FC HBA

drivers Brocade’s 4x5 series of 4 Gb FC HBA and management application.

Used Flexera Software’s InstallAnywhere to provide cross platform

installation services for GE Healthcare’s Centricity Enterprise Monitored

Care.

15+ years: Providing management services for servers in the build and

development labs including but not limited to operating system

installation and configuration, network configuration and management,

storage configuration and management and server virtualization

installation, configuration and management.

2+ years: Sales Engineer at Micro Design International (MDI) providing

the sales team with pre-sales support during sales calls and meeting

with customers and product training for MDI’s SCSIExpress storage

management software and optical storage hardware. Provided customers

with post sales installation and training services.

2+ years - QA Engineer providing testing services for MDI’s optical

storage management software and optical storage hardware products.
