Developed, automated, and analyzed Forcepoint Enterprise Security Web, Email, DLP and Cloud appliance performance, stability, and scalability characteristics such as transaction rate, latency, throughput, and concurrent connection handling under a wide range of conditions using Spirent Avalanche traffic generators its respective automation framework.Built out and managed 18 test beds simulating enterprise environments in both on- premises and remote data centers. Additionally, implemented an entire performance test bed in Amazon Web Services (AWS) using virtualized appliances and Spirent traffic generators.Conducted system integration and performance testing of Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) functionality (Dropbox, OneDrive, Office 365) from Skyfence acquisition and User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) functionality from Red Owl acquisition. Responsible for creating Python based latency and client resource impact collection and reporting for various detection channels (Web, Printer, Network, File System, etc.) of the Forcepoint Client Endpoint Security (EDR) solutions.Developed and maintained Jenkins/Ansible VMWare vCenter based virtual machine creation process to provide consistently configured Windows and MacOS test beds to a Robot Framework acceptance and regression test system for Forcepoint Endpoint Security products.

Performed low level performance analysis of LSI's Tarari Content Processing ASIC family C and C++ API, library and driver packages using Intel vTune Profiler.Interfaced with the hardware design team to locate, isolate, and fix performance issues in FPGA implementations of future ASIC designs.Implemented and maintained the globally distributed, 100+ user Perforce SW configuration management system.Maintained and expanded the entire engineering development lab at the San Diego site. This effort included supporting multiple local groups as well as providing infrastructure support for multiple globally distributed groups.

Led globally distributed teams of engineers developing API and kernel driver packages supporting multiple generations of LSI's Tarari Content Processors. (Hardware Acceleration Devices)Interfaced with upper management, cross-functional teams, and customer/partner engineering representatives in face-to-face and cross-site status calls.Guided teams through porting releases to multiple operating systems (Linux, Windows, BSD, Solaris) running on multiple platforms (COTS x86_64 servers, embedded reference platforms, customer proprietary hardware) utilizing multiple processor architectures (x86, x86_64, IA64, MIPS, ARM, PowerPC).

Led all SW development activities required to produce the following reconfigurable content processing hardware acceleration products: • RegexCP, Anti-Virus Content Processor (Regular expression and pattern matching acceleration) • CryptoCP, Cryptographic Content Processor (RSA and AES acceleration) • XMLCP/RAX, XML Content Processor (XML parsing, tokenizing, and random-access acceleration)Technical content presenter and point of contact for presenting Tarari technology to OEM partners and customers including companies like Cisco, Juniper, IBM, Broadcom, Marvell, McAfee, RMI, Secure Computing, Layer7, etc.Streamlined development and test activity by driving adoption of jUnit automated test infrastructure enabling increased development tempo.

Responsible for leading the ground-up implementation of the entire Tarari software development infrastructure and processes upon the founding of Tarari, the first venture backed technology spin-out in Intel’s history. Tarari ultimately went on to win the Best Start-Up at Networld+InterOp in 2003.Led the 4 software development teams developing applications, API libraries and drivers integrating Tarari's FPGA based reconfigurable content processing acceleration platform with various specialized communications and general-purpose processors.

Led 3 teams developing Intel Netstructure IP, SSL, and XML acceleration and load balancing enterprise networking appliances. The Intel Netstructure 7210 XML Accelerator won the Best of Show at Networld+InterOp in 2000.
