Lead the development, formation, and employee management of a new IBM Research department starting with 4 employees with a goal to optimize IBM Research R&D Information Technology resources including lab space and data centers. The team quickly grew to 20+ employees (regulars, contractors, and student interns) consisting of software engineers, architects, and system administrators. Optimized and consolidated Research’s raised floor space. Introduced emerging Research technologies to optimize cooling and power including the use of high-resolution weather data to optimize data center free cooling. Lead the development of the biggest IBM’s virtualized infrastructure, which lead to the formation of the IBM Research Compute Cloud. The team provided many levels of contributions to many Research projects including IBM Blue Gene, IBM System S (IBM InfoSphere Platform), IBM Research Speech technology, IBM Research Compute Cloud, and IBM Jeopardy.

Responsible for architecture, design, and software development for various projects in IBM Research. Provided software engineering leadership in the areas of J2EE and Eclipse Tool development. Provided consultation and leadership in the area of Java Authorization and Authentication Service to internal and external parties. Lead architect and lead developer for the Ambience Performance Modeling Research project funded by AMS/Research Institute. Adopted current industry performance engineering concepts and methodologies with new emerging technologies developed by the Ambience Performance Modeling team and incorporated these technologies into the architecture and design of the Eclipse plug-in Ambience tool. The tool provides performance engineer practitioners with a tool to model the application infrastructure, predict performance, and perform scaling analysis based on statistical data including end-to-end response time and aggregated system utilization. Architected and designed tool using the Eclipse Modeling Framework and the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework to facilitate interoperability with future Rational and SWG Eclipse/WSWB tooling. Presented the technology and the tool at the IBM PLTE 2004 conference in Orlando, FL as part of the infrastructure track (INF-060).
