I joined Microsoft as part of their acquisition of the Nokia device and service business.I lead development of a globally distributed app store service for the Nokia X Android based phones and deployed the new service to production on Amazon Web Services across four regions. I leveraged many of the AWS APIs: VPC, EC2/ASG/ELB, DDB, RDS, S3, CW, SNS, SQS, Route53, IAM… and lead the broader organization in moving to AWS. I authored a new app store client/server protocol optimized to cope with developing-world data networks and adapted a SOLR based entertainment commerce platform to support a complete store experience supporting app search, discovery, and download.I pushed even further with my test driven and agile approaches, putting in place continuous deployment and devops management of the service.

Nokia is a leading mobile device manufacturer, and in many markets it is their services that set them apart. My position in their services organization presents me with a unique opportunity to architect and develop simulation, system analytics and visualization technologies for Nokia's cloud computing services including their Voldemort based key/value store and Lucene based free text search services, their identity management services, and then their DynamoDB based service. I was also architect/Scrum product owner leading teams in India and in the US.

Video in the Cloud is dedicated to developing the technologies, markets, and business opportunities for next generation cloud computing infrastructure that delivers high bandwidth access to the massive amounts of data required to support a broad class of data intensive Internet scale applications.

As a Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Blackwave from 2006 to 2008, I set the company’s technology direction and led the effort to develop the venture’s first product. In less than a year, I had product being evaluated at two customer sites and the company had its first purchase order enabling it to secure second round funding. I also developed the company’s core patent portfolio of 10 applications.

Realizing that Internet video was about to become commercially viable, I left SeaChange to pursue product and service ideas that leverage my previous work at MIT. GCTRP was a partnership formed to explore the technology, market, and business concepts that would eventually form the basis of a new venture.

Boston, Massachusetts, Us

I was recruited by SeaChange to lead their advanced advertising and personal television efforts. I developed the intellectual property, business strategy, partnerships, and product efforts that became the basis of the company's personal television and advanced advertising products. I led development of core video-on-demand capabilities such as the new propagation service, advanced codec support, and IP delivery. I also fostered the engineering relationship with the company's first commercial telco customer.

I joined PictureTel to bring digital television technologies into their traditional products and services. Ironically, only a few years later I would be working to bring advanced codec technologies originally developed for video conferencing into digital television products and services.

I was Associate Director of the Research Program on Communications Policy. RPCP was a team of technology, business, and policy researchers conducting research on topics such as advanced television, digital media, Internet video, local access, Internet economics and intellectual property. It was here that I developed many of the foundational principles I brought into my subsequent work: digital television protocols, video storage architectures, local access technologies, Internet economics and intellectual property. A sampling of my papers from this era can be found at http://mit.edu/dcc.

Houston, Texas, Us

I was the DEC sponsor of David Tennenhouse's Telemedia Network Systems group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science. I collaborated with the team at MIT to work on bringing high performance computing, broadband networking, and digital video to the desktop. I also became involved with HDTV standardization efforts in the Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers.

Houston, Texas, Us

I collaborated on efforts at MIT Project Athena, a DEC sponsored joint research program, to develop desktop multimedia technologies. I developed a video extension to the X Window System and contributed to protocols used for synchronizing multiple media flows. I have fond memories of demonstrating cross-country a remote tablet graphics application with Ralph Swick, then my office mate.

Houston, Texas, Us

I joined Digital out of college to work on interactive graphics, window systems, and distributed systems. It was here that I my involvement with MIT Project Athena began which lead to my developing the first commercially available version of the X Window System and becoming a contributor to the X11 standard.
