History: | |
Warning, this version of my resume is fairly dated.
I'll be updating it some point in the future, though currently it's a low
priority. Here's a synopsis of what's happened since:
FastTide went the way of the typical Dot Com, went to go work for a
multi-device instant messaging company (writting low level C++),
moved to SAIC (worked on databases, web, and the top level .GOV domain
registrar code),
went to work for Cigital (doing QA and security consulting),
hired by TASC/Northrop Grumman (to do QA on a really wild government projects),
and went to work at BESC as their R&D director.
I'm currently developing multi-platform commercial Java/EE and C#/.NET
applications, doing a lot of math, algorithm development, information
management, writing parsers, and search engine work.
The position makes near optimal use of my design, coding, QA, and SCM talents.
FastTide developed optimal web-acceleration of content by performing
data analysis from the requesting browser and re-routing
traffic to the nearest local cache (if applicable); in a way, FastTide
was the first end-to-end "traffic helicopter" of the information
superhighway.
Responsible for configuration management (using
StarTeam),
tracking software and hardware deployments to remote
QA and development environments, and
conducting performance assessments of the product.
Assisted QA with analysis and test case generation, worked with
Java development staff, produced internal product documentation,
performed product evaluations for strategic partnerships (with
emphasis on streaming media), configured and managed internal QA lab
and website. Installed, scripted, configured, and coded applications
for Linux, BSD, and other operating systems.
