Jan 2016 – Present | Sunnyvale, California, United States ### Senior Software Engineer @ Infoblox Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 | Santa Clara, ca Team lead for integrating Unbound as a customer-specified alternative to BIND; coding focused on automatically generating Unbound configuration files from Infoblox configuration database. Team lead for a project adding access restrictions to configuration and other data on subnetworks controlled in a grid-of-grids installation. Also worked on team integrating with Cisco ISE (pxGrid, Jabberwerx), particularly on issues of library versions compatibility, internal libraries, and publishing dynamic topics, especially relating to DHCP.

Dealt with solutions to customer-reported issues. Also worked on extending a Java-based (Eclipse) tool that handled grooming portability via XML files. ### Software Engineer @ Space Systems Loral Jan 2009 – Jan 2013 | Palo Alto, California Designed, implemented, and supported various components of a custom, in-house satellite telemetry data display and analysis system, mostly in C++ and gtkmm on Linux, but also Tcl and Python. Wrote class notes (150 densely filled Power Point slides) and taught classes several times a year. Ported old versions from Motif to gtkmm, 32-bit to 64-bit, C-ish to more C++-ish. ### Software Engineer @ Actiontec Jan 2007 – Jan 2008 Fixes and enhancements in C for in-home (consumer) advanced routers running embedded Linux, specializing in firewall issues. ### Senior Software Engineer @ ICTV Jan 2004 – Jan 2007 Backend input handling and session management code for HeadendWare, in C++ on Windows, including designing a public-key encryption system and implementing the headend parts. (Inter-process communications, sockets, UDP, keyboard translation) ### Software Engineer @ Binnacle Systems Jan 2004 – Jan 2004 C++ engine for XML parsing at a start-up building a network appliance. (xerces-based DOM) ### Senior Software Engineer @ WorldGate Communications Jan 2000 – Jan 2002 Settop box and backend R&D for providing internet access and other value-added services to cable service providers to offer their customers. Designed and implemented in Flash an exhaustive suite of Flash API tests for cable tv settop box, creating hundreds of tests in an extremely short time. Covered both breadth testing of API functions and stress testing of functionality. Wrote and incorporated fixes in system code. Coordinated other test writer's efforts. (Flash, C++, VRTX, HTML) ### Senior Software Engineer @ Digital Video Art Jan 1997 – Jan 2000 Various projects, especially in the areas of X11, Motif, and graphics, mostly in C and Linux, with some embedded and Flash Actionscript. Twice won "IronMan" award for longest hours. Project details: Researched and implemented a performance improvement to offload text-processing from the cable head-end to the set-top box. (C/C++, Motif internals, Mozilla, X server internals, VRTX, multi-threaded, udp, X extensions, other network protocols) Designed and implemented code and shell scripts for a system to retrieve news data periodically from a variety of web-based remote news feeds (news, stocks, weather, etc.), edit it automatically, and reformat into XML, including systems for detecting stalls, errors, data corruption, cpu time overruns, and automatic recovery (and logging) of these and other errors. (C++, XML, Flash, perl, csh, ftp, http, tcp/ip, shell programming, FreeBSD, make, CVS) Designed and implemented modules of security and permission code for cable tv settop box. (C++, VRTX) Ported, maintained, and fixed ftp and http system libraries. (C, C++, ftp, http, tcp/ip, sockets, FreeBSD) ### Staff Engineer @ Wyse Technology Jan 1995 – Jan 1997 X terminal internals, especially terminal emulators (DEC, Wyse, Televideo, IBM). ### Senior Software Engineer @ SunSoft Jan 1988 – Jan 1995 SunPEX (3D graphics) ### MTS @ Sun MIcrosystems Jan 1989 – Jan 1991 | Mountain View, CA Original PEX (3D graphics extension) Sample Implementation for the X11R6 release. Project details: Designed and implemented code for PEX, both Sun's internal version and the publicly available sample implementation for the X Consortium. (SunPEX, PEX-SI, XGL, Solaris, SunOS, other UNIXes, C, make, lint, X extensions, 3D graphics, 2D graphics) Co-wrote and -presented a paper on PEX server internals at the 5th annual X Conference. Investigated and implemented a performance improvement for the PEX sample implementation resulting in a more than tripled performance. (Key: memory allocation.) Coordinated PEX-SI bug reports from sponsor companies and recorded and published extensive notes on architecture meetings.
