PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
SOFTWARE ENGINEER Hewlett Packard March 2007 - Present
Enterprise Software Design, Development and Testing for HP Storage Array
Systems
- Identified issues within existing inherited test codes; Redesigned and
restructured the test framework; Re-implemented the test framework by
writing enhanced C++ code and tested through and integrated with XML
interface; Reduced over 1000 lines of codes and improved test
efficiency and effectiveness; The result is also a more scalable and
adaptable test framework for future development.

maintaining, and supporting innovative cluster fail-over software
known as HP Cluster Extension for XP and EVA Storage Arrays (HP CLX)
for over five years.
- Successfully designed and implemented HP CLX with other team members
using C/C++ and Object-Oriented programming languages. Developed
codes to ensure HP CLX system's flexibility to run on Windows
2000/2003 (32-bit and 64-bit) platforms, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and
Linux. Participated in designing the system to extend a single
cluster solution over metropolitan or even global distances.
Developed the system so that it detects failures and automatically
manages recovery. Contributed also by making insightful
recommendations on new code development and reuse of the existing
code, which has significantly improved the development efficiency and
the overall system design quality.
- Successfully and independently developed and maintained a complex
Windows installation package for HP CLX using Installscript/MSI and
C/C++ codes.
- Responsible for UNIX and Windows systems testing and administration
such as installing and configuring Windows 2000/2003 (32-bit and 64-
bit) platforms, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and Linux for large scale and

operating system in our lab for system testing. Configure fiber
channel switch such as Brocade switches in our SAN environment.
- Perform complex system setup for HP StorageWorks XP Arrays, HP
StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array 5000, mid-range EVA Arrays,
fiber connections to the Arrays, and disk groups etc.

our team using HTML, Javascript, MySQL, PHP, and Apache web server to
make sharing information among the team easier, thus, simplified the
process and saved team members valuable project time.
- Successfully developed a web-based dynamic Artificial Intelligence
Helpdesk System using Case-based reasoning theory to support the
California State University students and faculty with questions.
Database system was developed using MySQL. Web programming and case
based reasoning algorithm was implemented using PHP, JavaScript, HTML,
