Helping to implement a new distributed storage solution. Updating the build system to use cross compilers and a distcc based distributed build cluster. Building a distcc compile cluster and optimizing distcc to handle concurrent compile jobs.

Designed and Implemented a Linux research project using Python. Presented this project to IBM Executives and Distinguished Engineers. Performed design and code reviews for other projects in the lab.

Designed, developed, and deployed a security analysis and remediation tool to provide more restrictive windows share and NTFS permissions on Windows NT and Windows 2000 servers. Web interfaces were provided to server owners and the operations group to monitor the tools progress. Developed in ASP.NET and VB.NET with a MSSQL back end database.

Developed a license enforcement addition for a wireless networking optimized TCP stack by providing kernel modifications and a system daemon to authenticate against a remote license server; using C, Python, public key cryptography, and a MySQL backend on FreeBSD. Updated Super Scalar processor simulation to include power and temperature modeling; using C++ and Java on RedHat Linux.

Designed and developed web based application framework; using PHP, JSP, SSL, and a MySQL backend. Framework controls all session management, database connections, and template compilation; using PHP DBI, JDBC, Mohawk Session management, and Smarty PHP template engine. Polled customer service and customer base for new feature ideas. Implemented basic site and most popular feature requests. Maintenance and new development is ongoing.

Developed software for the Quality Assurance Department to assist in the evaluation and testing of bug fixes; using Visual Basic, ODBC for MSSQL, Oracle, DB2, and MySQL backends. Constructed SQL queries to test software installations for known bugs and to test the integrity of patches release candidates; tests running on Windows 2000, remote hosts running Windows 2000 and Solaris.

Co-founded a company to build software solutions for the educational environment. Most recent software projects include an online content management system aimed at running a school newspaper; using Perl, PHP, Java, Python, with a MySQL backend on Debian Linux.
