Leads global team of software engineers developing embedded C/C++ user and kernel space software for a PowerPC hardware platform running Linux 2.6. Responsible for deriving system and feature requirements from concept exploration documents, developing design documents, leading design reviews, overseeing implementation, to include writing code, and oversees feature integration test efforts, which ends with delivery of product to system test. Also participates in change control boards for deployed products and software in system test.Technology areas of expertise include:• Developed kernel extensions for IP bridging - leveraged Linux Packet Filters• Tailored robust header compression (ROHC) for 3G networks• Implemented best-in-class packet variation and IP compression techniques• Architected IP bridge design to solve QoS, priority queuing, and 3G packet service latency sensitivities• Rapidly developed solution by leveraging open source projects shuch as rohc-lib, zlib, lz4, net-snmp, boost, cliparser and libxml2• Championed Agile methodologies by tailoring Git, Jira and Jenkins for revision control, defect tracking and automated builds. Provided training to entire development team on Git and Jira

Participated on many development teams implementing increasingly complicated embedded application features ranging from porting code to full feature development• Ported over 100K SLOC from VxWorks to Linux• Rewrote significant portions of TI DM642 family DSP C code used for HDLC and Abis protocol encoding / decoding• Participated in high priority field deployments - spent two weeks onsite with China Mobile successfully solving interoperability problems• Implemented a latency tolerant, highly reliable protocol based on RFC's 4838 and 5050• Designed a highly distributed software framework with automated control for hosting 3rd party application within the embedded mobile backhaul product

Transitioned from test to software development, taking over coding assignments for a deep packet inspection engine for core telecommunication networks. Developed code in C++, Java, and scripting within Windows and Linux environments.• Implemented a light weight short message service center for mobile terminated short messages in Java (client) and C++ (server)• Participated in server side development on a product for detecting fraud telecommunication calls. Implementation included SQL Server development and custom messaging within a client/server architecture• Developed numerous enhancements to a Java based client within a multi-tier client/server architecture

Responsible for all aspects of the product testing cycle as well as creating and maintaining custom test tools and scripts.• Responsible for all phases of the testing cycle including planning, test case development, and task estimation• Helped create and maintain several custom tools that aided in the development and testing of various portions of the company's Network Access Mediation product utilizing the Java 2 SE platform and the SMPP protocol• Created and maintained a suite of custom test scripts written in XML that were used to greatly reduce the amount of effort required to test the company's NAM product

Played key role in design, implementation and testing of various protions of the company's EPXam web based user interface. Worked closely with other software engineers as part of a responsive software team.• Developed new features in the company's web based Java GUI based on customer requirements• Improved performance by designing a new messaging systems between Java objects in the GUI by using the Java NIO features in J2SE• Worked with hardware engineers to add new SONET/SDH features into the company's EPX product line using C++• Consistently stayed on schedule during software development cycles, resulting in on time product releases and high levels of customer satisfaction
