Prototype development of sensing systems for tideland protection and restoration.Consulting and software development in support of R&D; particular strengths in networking and embedded software.

Thesis topic: "PHY-layer Feature Detectors for Cellular Downlink Signals"

WLAN software development and technical leadership; RF-based features; responsible for identifying needs and implementing applications and services responsive to RF conditions. Development of scalable methods for managing RF activity in the area covered by large (e.g. university campus) wireless LANs. Grew the company's IP portfolio, both through my own inventions, and by fostering and championing invention disclosures of my colleagues as part of the Patent Committee.

Assisted the VP of Engineering and the Chief Linguist in planning R&D direction and in evaluating the technical competencies of acquisition candidates. Conducted technical due-diligence review leading to Ask Jeeves’ acquisition of Teoma. Project leader for text data mining system to discover patterns in very large logs of user search queries. Investigated and selected clustering algorithms and graphical display techniques; planned and led iterative development incorporating user feedback. Developed a fast, data-driven language classifier for determining whether a search engine query is in English or in Spanish. Designed and prototyped a trend detector for discovering words or phrases with increasing usage (from the user query stream of approx. 5 million queries per day.) Show less
