• Enterprise-quality interconnect drivers and stacks written in C for cluster and scale-out server networks

• Architecture, tools, and design guidelines for refactoring several million lines of C/C++ network switch software

• The Virtual Bus Driver model for converged network adapters adopted by Microsoft and its OEM partners

• Linux kernel extensions guaranteeing in-order execution of chained netfilter hooks.

Technical Experience: Linux Kernel modules and drivers. Networking (Ethernet, USB,

Netfilter); GPIO; virtual device drivers, tools and client-server applications, file system prototype, algorithms.

Windows Kernel and user mode components. Networking drivers (NDIS, Windows Sockets Direct, Layered Service Provider, TCP/IP, RDMA, proprietary interconnect); filter drivers, bus drivers, file system driver

Multiple Proprietary operating systems

Debugger features, human interface drivers, remote messaging, driver abstraction, serial driver, platform porting

Contribution. Dean’s List for most recent quarter. Technical contributor for textbook revision.

UCSC-Extension, Santa Clara CA • Coded thousands of lines in C writing SMP-safe kernel drivers, tools and applications for x86

and ARM platforms. Routinely modified the Linux kernel code for diagnostic and experimental purposes. Awarded certificate with honors (4.0 GPA) in Linux Programming.

Tandem/Compaq/Hewlett-Packard, Cupertino and Roseville CA 1996-2012 Software Engineer/Architect for server and network divisions • Created architecture, tools, and design guidelines for refactoring a multi-million line C/C++

network switch code base, leading to improved consistency, modularity and separation of hardware dependent/independent code.

• Captured and documented the fundamental reference model for switch software and hardware interaction, enabling alignment of ASIC designs with the software architecture for shorter development cycles.

• Delivered multi-team consensus on team charters, design decisions, and resource commitments for creating and using a hardware abstraction library and SDK.

• Created a simple, elegant solution for co-existence and phased migration between different driver models in ProCurve embedded switch C software after identifying underlying design flaws blocking a development project.

• Designed and developed a serial device abstraction driver allowing the switch UART/console subsystem to be RTOS independent while supporting a wide range of board configurations.

• Created and prototyped an innovative design for iSCSI crashdump and hibernation that Microsoft leveraged for a concurrent Windows and HP product release.

• Invited subject-matter-expert speaker at multiple Microsoft technical conferences for both networking and storage tracks.

• Designed and developed RDMA based drivers for x86/x64 server platforms. • Created the Virtual Bus Driver architecture that Microsoft adopted as their preferred

approach for integrating single BAR PCI Converged Network devices into Windows kernel network and storage stacks.

• Technical lead and key contributor to HP’s work in the development of InfiniBand, SDP, and RDMA technologies. Multiple Patents related to this work were granted.

• Developed networking drivers using Tandem interconnect technology on Windows servers.

Previous Experience: Starlight Networks - Architect/Developer • Added Windows Servers to the product portfolio by creating an innovative L2/L4 networking

stack and porting the C video transport drivers from UNIX to Windows. Unisys - Software Engineer • Created a new family of commodity-platform based products by porting the Convergent

Technologies Operating System (CTOS) from custom workstations to x86 computers and implementing the CTOS file system as a Windows Installable File System supporting diskless workstations.

• Eliminated critical defects impacting all customers of a new workstation family by proposing, designing, and implementing a state-machine driven stack for chained input devices.
