PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I.B.M. Software Engineer - Test, performance analysis and

development 1998 - 2009

. More than 10 years of extensive hands-on experience with testing,

configuring, installing, troubleshooting, administering and patching

of numerous operating systems (Linux SuSe, Red Hat, Ubuntu, AIX and

Windows). And also have very deep, strong knowledge, background in PC,

server software/hardware in system architecture specifically in X86

based CPU systems and subsystems (Hardware including CPU, memory,

buses, IO and network controllers, disk storage, network, graphic and

fiber adapters, internet and SAN network and switches. Software

including OS, BIOS, compilers, device drivers, database, internet and

network communication includes TPC/IP, VLANs, LAN, NFS, web server and

client/server).

. Experienced with strong programming skills in C/C++, Perl and shell

scripts to work, analyze, fix code and debugged programs, kernels,

drivers, features and functions of software. Used diagnostic material,

schematics and tools to identify and fix the problems and defects.

. Identified system test and performance in the areas of resource

contention in system and subsystems software/hardware to derive

required and expected performance for new systems being developed.

. Implemented system performance testing, benchmark test, stress test,

regression test, scalability test to improve system software/hardware

performance.

. Experienced with system configuration of CPU, memory, disk storage, IO

controllers, network, NIC and fiber adapters and drivers,

CPU/core/thread performance, tuning parameters, kernel debug and code

fixes.

. Experienced and skilled with performance analysis tools like oprofile,

pmcount, hardware counters, vmon/vtune/emon, mpstat, iostat, vmstat,

CPU and memory analysis tools, disk and network performance tools.

. Wrote and implemented scripts for performance team workload

automation, autobench and automated benchmark tests. Wrote kernel,

networking performance guide papers.

. Worked with, configured, and improved system performance by using TPC-

C benchmark across numerous databases (IBM DB2, Oracle, Sybase), and

by using SPECweb, SPECwebSSL (security network) benchmark across

numerous web servers (Zeus, Apache).

. Worked with developers to collect, analyze, identify expected

performance enhancements and improvements for systems being developed.

. Experienced with electrical engineering design, troubleshooting to

component level, system engineering, analog and digital circuitry

design.

. Worked with numerous customer problems and requirements by using

technical resources, performance tools, to understand and provide

recommendations

. Worked with Linux open source community, Linux kernel source to open

defects, features, bugs fixes to improve Linux system performance on

Power, Intel and AMD systems.

Applied Materials. Equipment Test Engineer

1995 - 1998

. Performed and generated engineering test analysis and reports on CVD

(Chemical Vapor Deposition), SACVD (Sub-Atmospheric Chemical Vapor

Deposition) and Etch equipments.

. Extensive hands-on experience with installation, testing, setup and

configuration of electrical signals and components (circuit boards,

analog and digital signals, power supply and controls,

microcontroller, network interfaces, radio and user interfaces).

. Demonstrated the trouble-shooting skills and problem solving

capabilities in the field of process development and product

development.

. Hands-on the new product start-up (including responsibility to train

other engineers to acquire new product knowledge).

. Supported customer activities such technical consulting, and

demonstrated technical marketing skills including presentation and

customer interface skills.

. Experienced with electrical engineering design, troubleshooting to

component level, system engineering, analog and digital circuitry

design, power controls, robotics, and Radio Frequency concepts.
