SELECTED BUSINESS CONTRIBUTIONS

Volunteered to take over development of a business-critical telecommunications traffic generating tool written in

•

C++ for a major company. Expanded the flexibility and protocol coverage of the tool, improved the performance

rd

(by 30% in one area), and updated the stale documentation. This work involved integrating some 3 party

software packages and working closely with vendors. Results: Complete and rapid testing of the target product.

The product’s overall quality was improved by use of this tool and target release dates became more

achievable.

Developed a program for migrating customer databases by directly transforming binary images. This involved a

•

detailed understanding of the internal structure of a proprietary database and the use of complex memory

management techniques. Result: Program reduced by 75% errors and time required for customer upgrades on

the product. The migration software, written in C, was entirely my idea and design.

Significantly enhanced a new FORTRAN program critical to a research laboratory. Result: This enhancement

•

reduced design and reconfiguration time of experiments by an estimated 50%. The enhancements also resulted

in a general acceptance of the program by the laboratory staff.

Developed mobile location algorithms using Mathematica and implemented these in C. Continually enhanced

•

the accuracy of these algorithms using statistical and heuristic techniques. I had complete responsibility for the

resulting subsystem which became a critical component of a new product.

Designed and developed an automatic regression testing system for a telecommunications switching system.

•

Prior to this, engineers had to manually make complex calls using handsets and document the results. This was

exceedingly time consuming and error prone. The software was written in C and ran on a Unix system. Result:

Regression testing system accelerated testing/debugging by at least 50% and improved the overall quality of the

product.
