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 the latest Enterprise Linux as well as a 64-bit version. The code was multi-threaded, both on the user and kernel side, so it was necessary to provide equivalent services for the kernel module.Source code maintenance was handled via Clearcase, as in previous jobs.* Handled customer support for this product. I frequently used Perl to automate bug analysis. Set up bugzilla for bug tracking.* Provided support for Compaq Tru64-based DCE product.* Set up and maintained Linux server with raid array for home directories. Established ssh/ppp vpn for work from home. This same technique was used for debug of some customer sites.

* 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 customer bugs, identifying failures in CDS, RPC, time and security components.* Produced prototype Windows NT server using Microsoft tools. This server provided a gateway between DCE CDS and LDAP through the Windows NT 5.0 Advanced Directory Service (ADS).

* 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 software.* Aided the port of DCE code to the DEC ALPHA processor, learning the hardware architecture before most other engineers.* Developed application for DEC Pathworks Integrated Directory Services to run on Windows, Windows for Workgroups, OSF/1 and VMS.

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 driver, user library and utilities, installation and user documentation, and an internals specification.

* 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
