Set the platform architecture direction for Finite State's next generation product offerings, reducing AWS cost, increasing margins by 12%, and learning a new cool technology along the way using ArangoDB. Helped engineering and product teams become more "product-minded" in their discovery, delivery, and launch of new features and capabilities. Make the product architecture, data model, information architecture and UI/UX more "intentional".

At the foundation of many cybersecurity challenges is a deceptively simple problem: lack of a current and complete inventory of enterprise devices. This is not a new insight, but as an industry we are recognizing that status quo is no longer good enough.At Sevco Security, we recognize that the key challenge is not the lack of data about assets, but that each tool in your security stack represents an incomplete subset of the true total. We integrate with your sources, correlate and consolidate their data, and present you a single source of truth. Interested in learning about us? Visit us at sevcosecurity.com

Carbon Black was acquired by VMware in October 2019.I work cross-functionally with Product Management, Engineering, Sales and Sales Engineering, and Customer Success teams to set the vision for VMware Carbon Black EDR product line (formerly Carbon Black Response). Aligning our deliverables to the expectations of our customers is key to staying customer focused.I build product and engineering teams that are highly adaptable, resilient and execution oriented. Even the best laid out plans are likely to change and teams that are empowered to absorb the changes, adapt to new information and continue to perform are key to our success.

Bit9 + Carbon Black is now called Carbon BlackI took ownership of Product Development (constitutes endpoint, server and UI/UX developers) and Quality Assurance (QA) teams for Carbon Black’s EDIR product and shepherded the continued growth of the engineering team - as direct hiring manager grew the team 4x in a short span of time.I worked closely with Product Management teams to define and prioritize content of product releases.Oversaw planning and execution of software releases and acted as the primary engineering point of contact for Product Management, Customer Success and Support organizations. Defined Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) processes and established Agile development practices with the team. Reduced mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of customer escalations by improving alignment of Technical Support Engineers and the development team.

Part-time lecturer in Electrical and Systems Engineering Department at the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Responsible from two graduate-level courses on wireless sensor networks and advanced networking protocols; teaching one course per semester to a class of 15 to 35 students.

Rockleigh, Nj, Us

Technical lead responsible from firmware specification and high-level system architecture of Crestron’s next generation audio/music streaming product line. Participated in the selection and organization of a multi-national team for rapid development with stringent time-to-market constraints.Developed firmware on ARM11 and ARM Cortex-A8 family of processors for Crestron’s next generation CP3 control systems. Ported company’s proprietary inter-process communication protocol to Android operating system.Implemented 802.1X standard for port-based network access control on OpenWrt environment.

Designed and prototyped a channel-bonding network stack for the company's Visuality surveillance and security product line. This network stack, which is implemented in an embedded Linux environment, bonds multiple similar or dissimilar wireless network interfaces into a virtual network interface for transmission of high quality multimedia streams.Implemented an algorithm that adaptively controls the output bit-rate of multiple video encoders based on an estimate of the available network bit-rate in order to maintain continuous streaming of multiple multimedia streams. This resource allocation algorithm is patent pending and has since become part of Patton's Visuality product line.Played a key role in a 3-year $800,000+ government project on situational awareness and assessment that resulted in a new product line. Prototyped the system using commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) equipment and participated in field trials. Collaborated with software and hardware engineering teams to move the COTS design to an embedded platform. Wrote the specification for audio/video DSP encoders, defined the DSP to CPU communication interface, designed and implemented a machine-to-machine communication interfaceLead two technology partnership programs, integrating Patton's surveillance/security systems to 3rd party systems. Designed the application programming interface and coordinated the efforts of various engineering teams.Developed software components responsible from quality of service (QoS), stateful firewall management, core routing and NAPT for an embedded Linux operating system.

Devised a multicast-aware power allocation scheme for use in multiple spot-beam satellite systems that improved the utilization of the system as well as the users' perceived quality of service in a work supported in part by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The proposed method achieved up to 30% increase in sustainable session rates of multicast flows while maintaining per flow fairness to unicast flows in computer simulations.Formulated a mathematical framework for addressing the feedback implosion problem in resource-constrained uplink channels. The proposed methods achieved good feedback collection and error recovery by tracking only 5% of the multicast group size in computer simulations, thereby significantly reducing the need for uplink time slots for feedback transmission.Worked with a team of researchers on simulation modeling and performance analysis of mobile ad hoc networks using OPNET. Work supported in part by Lockheed Martin Global Telecommunications (LMGT) and The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Network Modeling and Simulation Program (DARPA-NMS).
