EXPERIENCE

GridCo Systems, Woburn, MA

2015-2016 Senior Embedded Software Engineer

● Collaborated in developing requirements, bringing up hardware and software components, testing and validating the system and preparing user documentation to ensure successful system deployment with the customers. Company line of products ( static VAR compensator, 150 kVA three-phase Inline power regulator, 50 kVA integrated power regulating transformer) was based on company developed in C++ embedded RTOS for TI DSP.

● Together with the hardware team successfully diagnosed manufacturing and reliability problems in multiple releases of company’s products. Provided software patches that resolve hardware problems to save the cost.

● Designed, implemented and successfully deployed the subsystem for on-the-fly upgrades of FPGA components, which allowed to stop performing manual upgrades of the system in the field and become the product selling point.

Novocure Inc., Portsmouth, NH

2014-2015 Validation & Verification Software Engineer

● Designed, developed and prepared for FDA approval requirements and testing procedures for embedded software running in medical device for brain cancer electromagnetic waves treatment;

● Validation and verification testing based on developed requirements allowed the company to receive required FDA certification of its medical devices that are currently become widely deployed. Charles Lion, Stratham, NH

2009-2014 Founder, CEO

● Successfully performed contract with Elbrys Networks (Portsmouth, NH) for design, development and maintenance of Python script testing for wireless access points and controllers for Hewlett-Packard line of products .

● Collaborated in the development of modular router with satellite, cellular, gigabit or WiMax interchangeable upstream modules and Wi-Fi or gigabit Ethernet downstream modules on contract with Tennex (Moscow, Russia) .

Cisco Systems; Meetinghouse Data Communications (acquired by Cisco), Portsmouth, NH 2003-2009 Software Engineer

● Developed parts of client- and server- side software for network authentication (RADIUS, EAP, 802.1x) for the company authentication supplicant widely used in the WiFi industry;

● Designed and implemented various authentication protocol modules for Aegis RADIUS authentication server that company used for authentication supplicant testing;

● Supervised design and implementation of client-side authentication software by external customer teams that was the selling point of the company product.

Cisco Systems acquired Meetinghouse Data Communications in 2006 for the company developed authentication technology and to prevent competitor use of it. Agilent Technologies (split from HP); Hewlett-Packard; Qosnetics (acquired by HP), Portsmouth, NH 1998-2003 Senior Software Development Engineer

● Led the design, development and wide deployment for startup’s principal product, router testing QARobot, from the inception to delivery for many customers ( HP, Cisco, Juniper and others ). The whole router making industry that time becomes company customers.

● Originated the concept and the implementation of the run-time system and the compiler for routes generation;

● Designed and implemented the specification language, describing stress and conformance for the router tests;

● Led the design, development and deployment of several core testing engines for most of routing protocols

(BGP4, OSPF, RIP, PIM), as well as conformance and stress tests utilizing those engines. Hewlett-Packard as a part of making Agilent Technology spinoff acquired Qosnetics in 1999 for the developed router stress testing technology.

Meetinghouse Data Communications Inc., Eliot, ME

1995-1997 Senior Software Development Engineer

● Successfully implemented several projects as a consultant for the Site Manager product at Bay Networks . RIF-F, Moscow, Russia

1994-1995 Software Development Manager

● Led (together with electronic engineering team) design, development and successful deployment with several customers for the state-of-the-art telephone-based security system using a clone for 8051 microcontroller for low cost, low power, and low footprint device.
