Experienced software developer capable of research,

planning, and leadership. Over 10 years of increasing

responsibility as technical lead, principal developer,

team leader and mentor.

Proven skills in software architecture, design and

implementation; applied research; oral and written

communications; leadership and mentoring. Past projects in

telecommunications, network programming, distributed

programming, object database systems, and systems

management.

Achievements include high quality products delivered

on schedule, patent, peer-reviewed publications, and

academic honors.

Formal methods, analysis and modeling; object oriented

programming.API and infrastructure design and

implementation.Network and distributed programming, multithreading;

object databases, relational databases.Implementing and using code generators,

documentation tools, code analyzers, and other tools.C/C++, Java, XML, XSL, HTML, Javascript, Perl, SQL,

BMC SOFTWARE, INC.;

;

1998 -- 2003

Technical lead: negotiated requirements with stake

owners, in cooperation with manager; defined

functional and design specifications; defined

implementation strategy; planned development in

cooperation with manager; supervised technical work;

mentored and trained developers; implemented core

components and solved key implementation problems.Data Population Server: a metadata-driven

framework for emitting measurement and analysis data

to a reporting database; implemented in C++, XML,

and Perl.

Provides, for the first time in BEST/1

history, the capability of deploying new solutions

into the field between releases (in combination with

a metadata driven analytical engine).

Enterprise Reporting: general purpose engine for

reporting on time-based data. Implemented on top of

Actuate, using Actuate Basic, Java, C++, and XML;

includes a report specification language, a

multithreaded Publishing Server, macro processing

language, and external SQL specification/generation

language.

Provides a unified and simple method for

specifying report layouts and contents, publishing

to HTML and Actuate servers, and access to a wide

range of data sources (native RDBMS and ODBC, CSV

files, composite data sources, and user defined data

sources).

Automation: established strategy for improving the

automation framework for the BEST/1 suite on

Unix, resulting in a significant reduction in

code size and complexity, and increased ease of

maintenance and enhancement.Network Management: C++ class libraries for

SNMP-based network management, and asynchronous

execution of algorithms (path discovery, network

discovery).

Provides a powerful set of simple primitives

suitable for implementing asynchronous algorithms.

Trusted Ontos Prototype: NSA/USAF

funded research project to develop a

Multilevel Secure Object Database.

Defined a formally consistent multilevel

secure object model, including aggregates and

collections.Designed and implemented the prototype,

while retaining compatibility with the commercial

single-level ONTOS/DB.Peer-reviewed publications and patent.Automated test suites for ONTOS/DB: object

database, concurrency/serialization, transport layer.Critical customer support situations.BOSTON TECHNOLOGY, INC.;

;

1993 -- 1994

Technical lead for testing of object oriented

application generation framework.Designed, documented, and implemented a class

library and infrastructure for building test suites

against C++ APIs. The class library provides

a structured model of test programming, automated

summary and detail test reports, extensive interfaces for

assertion testing,

Primary code reviewer for most of the code to be

tested.NOVUS, INC.;

airline terminal communications protocols (ALC,

SLC).Implemented automated reservation applications using

above protocols.College of Computer Science, Northeastern University;

Research/Teaching Assistant;

1988 -- 1990

Developed a compiler for a small algorithmic

language using denotational semantics to generate (1)

the Natural Semantics of programs, (2) a translation

to Higher Order Assembly Language, and (3)

transforming the HOAL result to MC680x0
