Alan Peckham Email & Phone Number

Wired together five houses sharing two feeds. Configured and maintained Red Hat/Fedora servers running SENDMAIL, apache (CAcert SSL certificates), IMAP, LDAP, samba, bind, PXE, DHCP, and other services. Provided regular maintenance and diagnostic services for neighbor's computers as well as instruction.

* Ported DCE/DFS product to RedHat Linux. This product provides secure rpc and a distrbuted file system in a cross-platform environment with over a million lines of code. User space components include rpc, security, naming, and time services. Created and implemented a model for the DFS filesystem kernel module. It was begun with RedHat 7.1, and extended to.

* Maintained and enhanced the indexing database for Quick Restore.* Worked with customer support to solve problems, rebuilding customer databases as needed.* Wrote Windows NT Setup configuration program, installing device driver and creating device configuration files.* Investigated Java and Javascript for web – based interface.

* Maintained and enhanced the CDS component of the HP DCE offering.* Developed Perl 5 tools for core file analysis. These were used for thread stack summary, memory pool analysis (for memory leaks), and data interpretation. Greatly enhanced database surgeon for repair of CDS data corruption.* Worked closely with customer support to resolve critical.

* Migrated DECdns code for VMS/VAXC to MIPS platform, maintaining code integrity for others, which were concurrently debugging this code.* Helped prepare CDS code for submission to OSF, integrating use of Posix threads, RPC, and distributed authentication.* Enhanced CDS through performance analysis and bug fixing, becoming the primary authority for this.

I completed a Custom Product Engineering job to design a combined device driver and IP gateway interface to a CNT LanLord Network Processor. This driver had system-specific hooks to work on MASSCOMP products through a DR-11W emulator, and also ELXSI's 6400 series systems through their PIC I/O Processor. Deliverables were source and binary kits for the.

* Extended their base operating system to handle larger 80186 memory models.* Aided the port of Berkeley UNIX network code to the 80186, identifying 32/16 bit issues.

* Developed device drivers for Interlan network interfaces.* Took initiative to stabilize code for release of terminal server product. This major revenue project was stalled for lack of proper debug facilities.* Given managerial responsibility for family of intelligent boards, router and terminal server products
