• Module owner for the Interface and State Manager (core of the distributed fault-tolerant IPOS control plane) for the SSR and SE router product lines.• Collaborated with other module owners to add the MC-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregate Group) feature. This included writing diagnostic unit-tests in Python for software validation.• Performed peer code and design reviews for new features and bug fixes.• Worked with test engineers and customers to triage incoming trouble reports and worked quickly to debug the issues and develop the needed bug fixes.• Wrote a fast build script which allowed developers to re-build their binaries within a few seconds or perform a full image build of 20 minutes compared to our typical build time of 1.5 hours.• Developed a coredump script to analyze crash corefiles which is now used by most our software and test engineers. The usage logs of this script estimate a time savings of 4 man-years per year.

• Wrote drivers for flashcard, NVRAM/RTC, 10/100 Ethernet, PCI bus, and many unique asic chips.• Wrote the bootprom code for the ATM-OC12 board and worked with the hardware engineer during the board bring-up process.• Worked on the bootprom code for the Control Module and linecard boards. Wrote the command line interface. Wrote the diagnostics for the linecard CPU. Integrated the Control Module diagnostics.• Wrote board diagnostics for the 96 port 10/100 Ethernet linecard.• Modified the PCMCIA flashcard driver code to allow multiple flashcards, allow large sized flashcards by memory paging, and perform an auto-mount with detection of the flashcard insertion interrupt.• Added code to the Nucleus kernel to support extended memory for a second 512MB DIMM.• Designed and implemented an upstream scheduler for the Cable Modem board to comply with DOCSIS 1.1.• Wrote a parallel build script which compiles the full codebase on multiple servers using gmake. This script improved build times by 70%. This build script was used by the majority of the developers.

• Supported the System Control software for the Aspen ultrasound machine. Fixed many bugs with the image pipeline control code from the b-mode and Doppler scanners to the NTSC/PAL display.• Project Lead of the DTI project which added three new Doppler imaging modes. Worked with Product Marketing to define new features and participated in the clinical trials to verify and improve these features. • Worked with a team of three engineers to improve the startup and transition times of the ultrasound machine.• Implemented 22 new User Interface features for the Aegis image capture system.• Consistently was the top bug fixer out of 40+ engineers. Over 800 bugs fixed with only a 3% bug return rate.
