Work History:

8/2001-Present

WebHostingLogic.com
San Jose, CA
Software Engineer

Standalone web server appliance designed for simple field installation.
Back end programming for all customer interface for web hosting service.
Custom boot loader for Linux Kernel.
Source code modifications to customize the behavior of the Apache web server.
Kernel modifications to allow the monitoring of bandwidth usage on a per user basis.

5/2000-8/2001

Verecomm
San Jose, CA
Software Engineer

Socket programming for Solaris and Windows NT.
Tcl and Shell scripting.
Developed software to remotely control and synchronize equiptment used to verify DOCSIS cable modems.
Developed a common Windows and UNIX API so that the codebase would be the same for both platforms.
Wrote SNMP interface library for the testing of new DOCSIS cable modem networking products.
Created a high-speed hub server to allow the synchronization and communications between different software components and to achieve high performance and accurate timing between distributed software and hardware components.

3/99-5/2000

DVBS California
San Jose, CA
Systems Developer

Internet based client/server applications for streaming multimedia.
New algorithms for video compression (high-speed motion detection algorithms)
Security/encryption algorithms to prevent reverse engineering of the software algorithms and to lock the executables to a particular system.
Performed any necessary FreeBSD kernel modifications and wrote FreeBSD device drivers to achieve the above tasks.
Modified the kernel to allow access to the IDE hard disk serial number in order to tie executable programs to a particular hard disk.
Added a new module to the exec system call in order to allow the booting of encrypted executable files. (The hard disk serial number was used as the key)
Debugging of code, analyzing Core files and troubleshooting the causes of kernel crashes, panics and core dumps.
Designed and developed the software for a set top box internet based video on demand and video conferencing system.
Planned out and completed the components necessary to build an internet based 10 million user video distribution network with an estimated hardware cost of under $1/user. (An extremely low cost cable network)
