Professional Experience
Senior Staff Engineer, Seagate, Colorado Springs, CO 2003 - 2007
Firmware design and development engineer for Seagate integrated storage element.
-
Port open source cross platform development toolset (compiler, assembler, linker, debugger) for Linux and Cygwin enviroments for PowerPC development.
-
Write code for Aristos Logic fibrechannel ASIC. The ASIC includes 10 processors (3 for fibrechannel interfaces, 3 for memory interfaces, and 4 general purpose processors).
-
Write Linux loadable module device drivers and make kernel changes for realtime operation.
-
Develop crash dump file format and code to dump ASIC state for analysis of system crashes.
-
Write code to read kernel memory and generate a core file for multi threaded programs.
Software Engineer, Pyramid Peak Design, Colorado Springs, CO 2002 - 2003
Contract work for ATI working with ATI Xilleon video processor using
embedded MIPS CPU core, running Linux.
-
Write XFree86 driver for ATI Xilleon chipset and port XFree86 to work
on the Xilleon solo environment.
-
Write code to use Xilleon DMA hardware to transfer data from system
memory to PCI memory.
-
Develop and write utility code to display messages from embedded system
to a graphics overlay for display.
-
Change Makefiles for ATI Component Library to use different toolchains
for a conversion from Metrolink Linux to Monta Vista Linux.
Principal Software Engineer, EMC, Colorado Springs, CO 1998 - 2001
Responsible for NFS subsystem maintenance, SCSI disk subsystem
maintenance, and device drivers for StackOS operating system.
-
Identified and resolved more than 10 major porting issues for two major
storage subsystems resulting in strategic alliances with HP and IBM.
-
Saved at risk customer by redesigning hot-swap software to
eliminate pre-existing flaws. Also attracted new customers
by integrating newly developed hot-swap functionality into
entire product line.
-
Analyzed and solved system lockup problem by designing
debugging tools that allowed data to be gathered at
interrupt level, saving hundreds of hours of debugging
time company wide.
-
Developed interrupt sharing code to allow StackOS to run
on hardware with integrated controllers.
Senior Software Engineer, VSYS, Colorado Springs, CO 1996 - 1998
Contract work at MCI, coding and testing of
call processing software written in JAVA
using Orbix Web.
-
Design and coded LPS (Logical Provisioning System) network
provisioning software written in C++ using
Versant OODB and
Orbix.
-
Developed ASTRO (Automated System Test RObot) network testing software
to test unused circuits in the MCI network.
Senior Programmer II, MCI, Colorado Springs, CO 1993 - 1996
System administrator for all SNMS (SS7 Network Monitoring System) development and production RS6000 systems.
Application program development for SNMS.
-
Developed SNMS processes that can be dynamically updated
while running resulting in the ability to change event
parsing and alarm rules in days instead of months.
-
Developed automatic pager notification system to alert
support personnel of production problems.
-
Implemented backup process for the production system that required no human
intervention.
Software Engineer, Cray Research, Colorado Springs, CO 1991 - 1992
Engineer in charge of developing software for the I/O subsystem of the
Cray YMP-EL real-time
system. Write UNIX device drivers for realtime I/O devices.
-
Responsible for porting and developing debugging tools for CR/UX.
-
Developed and implemented interface and device driver software for interfacing
a Cray YMP-EL to
Applied Dynamics real-time station.
-
Wrote drivers for the Peritek VCF-V
video board/X windows server. Converted Peritek daemon program to run on 64 bit machine.
-
Developed a remote system reset capability which eliminated the need for
the staff to travel to the office to reset systems.
Programmer, Kaman Sciences, Colorado Springs, CO 1989 - 1991
Responsible for maintenance of the I/O subsystem software for the Space Surveillance Center of the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base.
