SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL

A versatile, self motivated, engineering professional with a recognized

ability to identify and implement creative solutions to complex technical

problems.

Brings a "start up" sense of urgency towards new development, with very

strong "out of the box" thinking skills, to improve code resiliency,

performance, and functionality. This same urgency extends towards

addressing existing issues, doing whatever is necessary to arrive at a root

cause and ultimately devising creative solutions.

Competent in all areas of software engineering including: needs analysis,

prototyping, functional and design specifications, project planning,

implementation, and life cycle support.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

EMC CORPORATION, Hopkinton, MA 1995 - 2013

Principal Engineer

GOOD

> Perform 68030 microcode analysis for designing and developing online

engineering documentation, including Code Flow diagrams, buffer

utilization, and data structure identification

> Provided SCSI protocol analysis for new software feature designs and

design change impact on various UNIX hosts, third-party CASE tool

evaluation

> Provided design analysis for the initial foundation for EMC's Storage

Systems ucode APIs. The tenets of those designs continue to be the

basis of all new APIs incorporated, even after 5 generations of

storage systems.

BETTER

Developed the following:

> Multi-platform SNMP clients, agents, and MIBs for integration with

external management frameworks and MIB browsers, including HP

OpenView, Tivoli NetView, and CA Unicenter.

> Multi-platform plug-in software that provides the capability to manage

EMC products within external management frameworks including HP

OpenView, Tivoli NetView, and CA Unicenter.

> An SNMP Plug-in for EMC's Solutions Enabler Event daemon for

converting and sending events as SNMP traps, while maintaining a

private MIB for lightweight browsing via a private port.

> The original SNMP infrastructure supporting the above that is still

deployed across several internal management products and was used in

"one offs" to provide SNMP support for custom applications.

BEST

Developed the following:

> Configuration management APIs for the Clariion storage systems that

have since become the "workhorse" for EMC's SNIA SMI-S Provider.

> A daemon for EMC's Solutions Enabler chartered to provide a single

point of access to the storage systems, manage and recovering host and

subsystem resources, provide QOS load balancing across SCSI device

access and remote links, and increase application layer performance by

utilizing a data cache or delayed task execution.

> An emulation daemon for internal and third party development

organizations to simulate storage system passive and active control

requests and reduce the need for physical lab storage systems for

development purposes, saving millions in annual equipment

capitalization expenses. This software was patented in 2009, Patent

#7,478,026.

WHOA!

> Developed a novel solution to allow EMC customers to remotely download

EMC Service Packs and software upgrades to a Symmetrix Controller,

facilitating remote upgrades by Tech Support rather than requiring an

onsite trip using hard copy media. The annual estimated cost savings

is $30 million.

> Championed Performance and Scalability initiatives for EMC's Solutions

Enabler product client/server application environment, including:

. Conduct in-depth analysis of existing implementation(s);

. Optimizations of existing protocols and implementations resulting

in a 30% performance gain over a high latency network;

. Prototype solutions for proof of concept for alternative

implementations;

. generate functional, design, implementation, and test

documentation;

. develop benchmarking procedures, tools, and scripts for measuring

general product performance between prior GA releases as well as

incremental development releases and QE code drops, plus testing

procedures, tools, and scripts for measuring success

. Delivered solutions that reduced application run time over a high

latency network from 25 minutes to 7 seconds;

. Delivered solutions that reduce overall memory use by 60% on the

server host and upwards of 90% on the client host.
