CTO/CIO/Computer Scientist/Innovator (Founded new R&D Labs MySpace & Teradata within Enterprises)

Over 25 years of hands-on technical management, innovation, legacy maintenance and new product development for companies that range from start-ups to turnaround companies to multi-billion dollar international corporations.

An excellent track record with turnaround trouble startups, early stage startups and establishing R&D innovation centers at (I) Teradata Advanced Concepts Laboratory; and (II) MySpace R&D Group.

Very strong track record (with patents) in database, storage, data ware house, e-commerce and advertising.

Managed and led on-shore, offshore and matrix teams of employees that developed 5 new products and new services in the last 10 years.

Positions since 1987 have yielded 20+ patents (8 to me).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Cariño Consulting – Interim / Permanent (CTO, CEO) Positions August 2001 - Present

Permanent and interim Executive positions, for high-risk enterprise turnaround, company restart and re-inventing themselves and early stage companies that had no product until I led development of their new product(s).

NetLok – Pasadena, California 2016-Present

Chief Technical Officer (CTO) – [1099] Cybersecurity for vault and block chain.

CTO for a Cybersecurity company developed, NetLok™, a pioneering dropbox-like vault where NO messaging email leaves the secure system. Started and led the effort to complete, greatly enhance and complete product development.

The new NetLok™ system - for which I led development and new implementation - resulted in Cybersecurity Breakthrough Award for "Authentication 2017 Product of the Year.” – chosen over 200 entries.

Led the effort to rewrite the code in JAVA, C++ on RESTFUL / SPRING Framework from Cold Fusion and Xojo. The new system is responsive – meaning adopts to mobile, tablet and/or server/PC.

Invented and coded a new security method (better than encryption) for sending stenographic messages and the encoding is based on Unicode and key core picture whereby the message is transparently embedded in any file (like JPEG, PDF files).

One implementation uses 3rd party web site images and creates map that can be decoded without the same original image.

The secure messaging vault has options for Mission Impossible-like single message use – which can also be applied to an entire user repository of messages and files.

Finally – the system is hosted on Amazon (AWS, S3) and AWS Cloudfront will be added to for performance reasons soon.

CollectOne – Simi Valley, California 2015-2016

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)/Chief Technical Officer (CTO) – [1099] turnaround for a 40-year old company in a $55-Billion-dollar market.

Legacy migration product had not been completed in 10 years. New ULTRA™ beta was completed with 6 months.

Developed the SaaS and Replication/DR product roadmap – wanted by most M&A potential acquirers.

Wrote M&A sell company documents – and marketed company to equity funds and strategic acquirers;

Led and kicked off the effort – document preparation and negotiation with auditing firms – to recoup Federal and State R&D Tax credit funds – which I told the accounting firm would result in millions of dollars in rebate and value for M&A acquisition potential company buyers.

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – [1099] pioneering new company in stealth mode to revolutionize commercial SQL and NoSQL database system with new massively-parallel processing (MPP) capabilities for performance and scalability.

Database execution independence technology provides SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL and DB2 Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) scalability and reliability without replication or virtual machine mirroring required by VMware or Hyper-V or XEN.

The new technology revolutionizes:

I.Bare-metal database virtualization – migrate database execution without overhead or cost of Virtual Systems, like VMWARE.

II.Autonomic Database execution migration – on virtual systems or our bare metal database virtualization:

oEliminates 50% over-provisioned database system, software and infrastructure.

oProvides real High-Availability (HA), Fault-Tolerance (FT) and performance/scalability to any SQL database system.

III.MPPWare: provides Teradata-like MPP massively parallel processing to SQL databases – without any data movement.

IV.Database-aware Caching Appliance – exploits RAM, Flash and SAN storage– based on Berkeley DB and Memcache.

Winnol Corporation – Glendale, California 2011 - 2012

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – [1099] Ground floor new startup in new advertising, ecommerce and monetization paradigm to compete with Google AD Sense and Groupon.

Company had no product – but a CEO vision – I took the fuzzy vision concept, designed and architected system and recruited in-house/outside team to develop the new web monetization product. Recruited a development team, setup 3rd party development relationships that developed the first product in 5 months.

Company received offers to be acquired within 6 months for $60 million after developed the Beta product version.

Concerning infrastructure - we deployed the new product onto Amazon Cloud and Amazon CDN for video streaming.

Designed and developed a custom video player – for TV network customers (like ABC.com).

Conceived and developed a new web toolbar concept for AD monetization whereby we can monetization any web site users’ visit – without having to make deals or share revenue with the 3rd party site owner.

Design a special ecommerce fulfillment whereby could place orders on large retailers and design a pioneering fulfillment for local companies that have no POS or fulfillment. The new solution gave our (local) customers a system we controlled for dispensing (boxes) of products directly to the consumer (of our ecommerce system).

2014 Patent awarded for 100+ claims covering: (i) on-line advertising; (ii) E-commerce; (ii) custom video players; and (iv) a new toolbar/side-bar concept for monetizing 3rd party sites (without their permission).

MYSPACE, Beverly Hills California

2007-2009

Executive Director Research & Development [W2]

I founded a new MySpace Research and Development Group to handle new research and innovation for MySpace web site and operations (10+ billion page views a day).

My first task was to learn, reverse-engineer and write a comprehensive document, titled “Exegesis of MySpace”, that provides an in-depth architecture and functional analysis of MySpace software systems and operations (includes 10 data centers). This was the first complete and comprehensive document about MySpace internal systems and software design and world-wide operations.

Led innovative research and development projects that solved major operational pain at MySpace, like:

1.HoTMaN – (bare metal database virtualization) - a LUN storage and database management tool used to manage 350 SQL Server databases and each SQL Server handle 10 million users. HoTMaN migrates a failed SQL Server database server to another server on the 3PAR SAN. It reduced major operational human intensive process when failures occur to a solution that has just 2-Clicks (i.e. no more human fire-fighting). Over time – saved million(s) in potential revenue loss – due to database server failures.

2.Gemini - Custom main-memory heuristic cache database for 1000+ object servers that will eliminate the need for 75% of support servers and increase Berkeley DB (BDB) measureable response time performance by 250%. Gemini also improves operations by eliminating major redundant replication currently used in the system.

3.MyNET – a new massively scalable software infrastructure for social networking – modeled after Teradata ByNET™. MyNET would reduce the growth need for 13,000 servers and 2 petabyte SAN (Storage Area Network) – by using reliable parallelism and autonomic self-healing algorithms.

Recruited a US based that resulted in reducing a 2-year backlog of customer medical web implementations which doubled the number of customers supported and associated revenue. Developed CMS like tool to develop customer custom frontend to our proprietary EMR system.

Modernized Data center operation from a single data center to two fully replicated data centers, which run 24 x 7 and passed major security and audit of operations for major national laboratory that outsourced operations to 4Medica.

Created new data mining, data warehouse and reporting for internal and customer usage.

StorageSQL, El Segundo, California 2001-2002

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) – co-founded a company to develop a database system that that could store its data HSM (Hierarchical Storage Management) – Tape Farm Libraries and Optical Jukeboxes.

StorageSQL was self-funded company to develop a next generation SQL system that ran queries on top of Tape Farm Libraries (i.e. removable Tape media). The product was an effort to exploit an IBM DB2 relationship dropped by FileTek when the closed our division (I founded) down.

FILETEK, INC., El Segundo, California 1998 - 2001

Director, Strategic New Business Development - Launched and managed a West Coast facility to enhance FileTek’s StorHouse relational database and active data warehouse archival products for hierarchical (i.e., tape, optical, disk) storage systems.
