SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION, Authentication Division, Concord, CA 1997 2009

(Acquired by Aladdin Knowledge Systems in 09/08, and by Safenet Inc. in 03/09.)

The division migrated from Waterfall to Agile, using Agile Iterative Software development: cyclic software

development process, self-organizing cross functional teams, continuous improvement through frequent

inspection and adaption. The Application Lifecycle Management used a single tool ((AR system) to

integrate features related to requirements management, coding, testing, defect tracking and release

management, using continuous integration (Cruise Control), Extreme Programming, test driven

development, code review, refactoring.

Teams (developers, QA, technical writers) were collocated and in direct and continuous collaboration.

I have been a project leader for many of the released projects.

Senior Software Engineer

Technical team leader for SafeWord MobilePass - the company s first mobile product,

dramatically reducing production costs. Led the mobile technology team through all phases of SDLC:

researching platforms and tools, creating VMWare test labs, building Ant scripts for each mobile platform,

revising QA test plans, technical documentation, and marketing announcements of the new product.

Designed, developed, released and supported SafeWord MobilePass - a software-based two-factor

authentication solution. The product generates one-time passcodes (OTP) on mobile phones

(BlackBerry, PalmOS and J2ME-enabled). As the sole developer for this product, I wrote a flexible

API and an easy to use, robust GUI, which adapts its screens and functionality based on the Token

configuration. I extensively tested and adapted the GUI, made it compatible across the supported

platforms, getting only positive feedback from the customers.

Developed MobilePass for the Android mobile platform. As the sole developer, I redesigned the

JavaME software, isolated cross-platform APIs in order to consolidate the further development of the

products, and designed bridging solutions between the platforms.

Designed, Developed and Released JavaME SafeWord MobilePass SDK, with sample code, and

JavaDocs, as a sole developer.

Technical team leader for the GUI Java Client development for the all the released products .

The Management Console has a very complex GUI providing enterprise-wide management of users,

tokens, and access rights as well as event logging and reporting. Platforms supported: Windows and

UNIX. The initial Client was the first Java product for the company, and I have released the project in

time, compensating for the work of the other two developers, which became unavailable. Wrote robust,

test driven, user friendly GUIs using Java 1.1, Java 2.x, AWT, Swing, MVC, various Java patterns.

Technical team leader for redesigning the product s encryption architecture. Designed and led the

team to implementing a new flexible plug-in architecture for different cryptographic providers, using Java

patterns.

Technical Team Leader for architecting the test automation processes. Researched the available

tools and selected the most suitable ones to introduce the automated testing. Created the framework

and libraries to be used by the QA team. I wrote detailed documentation and trained the QA team to

use WinRunner and QF- test suite. This process had a huge impact improving in the quality of the

products.

SECURE COMPUTING CORPORATION (Continued)

Technical Team Leader for the SafeWord Installer on UNIX. Designed and developed the Java

GUI, using scripts to install, uninstall, configure, or administer already installed administration console,

core, and optional servers.

Designed, Developed and Released the SafeWord Reporting Tool : this feature was required by

customers as mandatory for buying the product. As a sole developer, I researched implementation

solutions and selected the most performing one: the open-source Java Excel API. Wrote proofs of concept,

used Java Profilers, and redesigned several iterations to accelerate the processing of a large amount of data

within the system and JVM limitations. Designed a responsive and easy to use GUI using Swing

threading. The reports were generated in Excel (.xls) or other formats, as configured. I developed a GUI

for a real time activity monitor. Wrote scripts to create reports from the command line, VBA sample

projects and Excel macros.

Wrote Soft Token (OATH standards-based) SDK as a sole developer : implementation, sample

code, and documentation required by many customers using two factor authentications.

Implemented Java fuzz tests for the core servers. Those tests improved the stress test procedures

for releasing stable, competitive products. Wrote Java plugins, created VMWare test lab, and documented

results.

Wrote xml ANT build scripts, updated InstallShield scripts for released products.

Wrote a Java package analyzer tool. I had the initiative to write this tool, which highly improved

the process of releasing package updates. The tool creates detailed reports of the different affected product

components and was released as an ANT task and standalone with a GUI.

Wrote new Administration Server features and plugins (Java).

Wrote a SoftToken to run on a TI processor. The program was developed in C using the

processor s WorkBench tool. The project was a proof of concept of a potential customer using the

processor.

Wrote Wiki Documentations to widely communicate technical solutions between the division s

engineers.

Involved in client server project written in C. Wrote GUI using MFC.
