Development ManagerNortel Networks 1997 - 1999Worked as part of the ITU-T standards group to define the E-115 update, which migrated international directory inquiries away from the legacy X25 networks to the more modern TCP/IP networks.My E-115 gateway system allowed call center users to look up telephone numbers in [almost] any country in the world, and connect callers. This was deployed into Irelands "Conduit" which ran 192 services for Orange Telecom at the time, allowing them to quickly expand into Europe. The UK market later split from the 192 into a competative market. Conduit has now merged with KGB in America, which owns the famous 118118 brand in the UK.I lead the development team through the full product build, sales and deployment lifecycle, until leaving to take up a Director role in Datalinx Ltd in 1999.This involved looking after requirements, development staff, liasing with sales staff in the USA, finding test partners, managing world wide connection tests, linking X25 and TCP networks, linking to Telephone systems, and managing deployment into customers in various countries. -

It was later known as Northern Telecom.It started off building RS232 Consoles - but later moved to Fault Tollerent Unix machines (famous for the Power 6/32 super mini), and then Phone Directory Access/Enquiry systems and automation.My work as a senior systems designer on the Directory One project moved me to design and development on the IBM RS6000 Power PC's.As a side project - I designed a Multi-site Development Environment (MDE) which allowed Nortel staff around different collaborating sites to work together on software development, and fully integrated tracking and system testing into the platform in such a way as code being accepted or rejected into a build based on if it worked, without impacting other peoples development or needing management overheads. Due to the power of the built in test suite, it found bugs in operating systems releases from IBM, and rejected OS updates that would not work with the developed software.

The STL site became part of the Nortel research group BNR Europe Ltd.I then moved into fault tolerant Telephone directory lookup systems, including BT-Phonebase and later Directory One.
