EXPERIENCE

Fujitsu Network Communications

Embedded Software Engineer Dec 2008 – Feb 2009

• Develop data communication network on packet optical network platform

Cisco Systems, Richardson, TX Jun 2007 – Nov 2008

Software Engineer (Recruited through Cisco Choice Program)

• Design and develop electronic surveillance solutions for Voice over Internet architecture

University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX Jan 2002 – May 2007

Research Associate (Post-Doc) / Research Assistant

• Performed queuing analysis and designed simulations using OPNET for Cisco University Research Program (URP) on a novel network architecture; conducted extensive survey on IETF standards, and made proposals on related protocols.

• Developed novel fast local recovery solutions for Cisco URP on survivability against multiple failure patterns in MPLS-TE networks by applying linear programming, optimization theory and graph theory; the successful results led to two consecutive Cisco URP projects on different subjects.

• Conducted in-depth failure pattern analysis by developing probing tools using Python for real-time failure statistics on a field network.

• Designed restoration schemes with differentiated reliability for MPLS/optical networks of an NSF research project; and developed a multi-platform discrete-event-driven simulator using C++.
