Work History

Aspera, Inc. Emeryville, California USA June 2012 - August 2012, February 2013 - March 2013

Software Engineer R&D Intern

• Achieved 200% performance gain and increased the file transfer speed to 4Gbps on commodity servers by integrating fasp protocol

with netmap framework based packet forwarding engine(could process 800K regular packets per second) in C.

• Researched and benchmarked comprehensively on Intel’s high-end server technologies(Data Direct I/O, NUMA architecture and

SR-IOV for both disk and network performance boosting, and Data Plane Development Kit, etc to increase network performance),

tuned(parameters for network card drivers, system and fasp parameters, CPU scheduling, etc) for optimized network performance

(10Gbps using regular packet size under WAN condition) on RHEL Virtual Machines with fasp protocol.

• Developed Ruby and Shell Script based benchmark automation tools.

Jinan Iron&Steel Group. Jinan, Shandong China August 2010 - September 2010

Automation Department Intern

• Worked with the engineering team and maintained PLCs and WinCC based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition software.

• Assisted in administrating Oracle E-Business Suite to manage and dispatch resources.
