Hewlett Packard Company Medical Division, Andover, MA
02/97-03/00
Medical Division produces medical devices such as patient monitors and ultrasound imaging systems,
which obtain physiological data from patients, and clinical information systems, which document,
retrieve, and analyze patient data.
Project Leader- Patient monitoring and Central Station network team
• Design and implementation of a network tool used for estimating packet transit time and routes.
• Identified key product architecture and issues, work breakdown schedule and task assignment,
participation in weekly communication meetings, design, coding and test plan inspections of team
members, and performance reviews for summer intern students.
• Leadership, design, implementation and testing of the wireless capacity manager subsystem. The
capacity manager is part of a set of embedded management services used to gathers statistics from
wireless access points and switches using SNMP and determines the health and capacity of the
wireless network.
• Leadership, design, implementation and testing of fault tolerant network replication BootP and
TFTP Services.
• Design, implementation of a network Client/Server tool used for simulating TCP/IP and UDP/IP
unicast, broadcast, and multicast traffic on the network. The tool allows users to set burst time,
inter-packet delays, packet size, other network parameters, and collect network statistics over time.
• Leadership, design, implementation, documentation and testing of application used to collect and
display Ethernet MIB statistics from the 10/100 Mbit switch ports.
• Specification, design, documentation, test plans, and testing of the Ethernet based medical network
infrastructure (switches, repeaters, UTP, fiber) and topologies. Specific activities included
simulating worst-case network loads, error injection on Ethernet lines to characterize time delays
and real event conditions on the medical network. Evaluation of network management tools
including Cisco Works, OpenView Network Node Manager and SNMPc.
• Leadership, design, implementation and testing of TCP/IP and UDP/IP embedded network services.
These include discovery of devices on the network, name service, time synchronization and activity
of medical network devices.
• Design, implementation and testing of network device configuration API used by system clients to
interface to the Sybase database.
06/95–02/97 Principal Software Engineer - Patient monitoring and Central Station network team
• Design, implementation and testing of software for allowing the demonstration of the product (demo
mode) without the need to interface embedded patient monitors to the product. The software
recorded live patient data and played it back to simulate the network protocols embedded in the
patient monitors.
• Design, implementation and testing of Client/Server software for understanding the soft real time
characteristics (performance and latency) of Windows NT.
• Investigated how external medical devices such as anesthesia machines should be connected to the
patient monitors. Created a final investigation report and presented the results to management and
the sections.
• Designed, developed and tested software for transporting real-time physiological patient data to
multiple clients on a distributed system using CORBA (Common Request Broker Architecture).
Responsible for making sure performance measures were within specification
10/90–06/95 Software Architect/leader – Patient monitoring team
• Software Architect for new generation of embedded real-time patient monitors. Responsibilities
included evaluation of operating systems (QnX, Lynx, VxWorks, IRMX, Windows NT, Windows
95), user interfaces, development environment, schedule and calculation of resources needed to
complete the project on time. Created patient monitor client/server prototype software using
WinSockets, TCP/IP, UDP/IP and C++ to evaluate operating systems, technical feasibility and real-
time capabilities. Traveled to Asia Pacific to demonstrate prototype to customers and understand
product fit into marketplace.
• Design, implementation and testing of patient monitor printer, database and recorder functionality.
The patient monitor is an embedded multiprocessor system running pSoS real-time operating
