Command team members and mentor junior engineers in the creation and execution of high-quality designs and code, determine standards for work production, prioritize and schedule tasks. • Enhanced the user experience through the evaluation and elimination of hundreds of bugs, designing, writing, and installing a new cluster management system• Improved algorithms through threading, resulting in significantly enhanced scaling for queries and data usage• Subject Matter Expert and Team Lead for Columnstore project, an analytics cloud offering (SkySQL), wrote a plugin module to allow it to use S3-compatible object stores as another tier of storage

Examined and assessed company tools in order to enhance usability, improve customer feedback, and establish cost-saving measures. • Employed C++, Python, Docker, Linux to strengthen the InfiniDB engine for Tune’s use cases, resulting in decreased operational costs and increased customer satisfaction• Executed an overhaul of all of Tune’s click-stream data, delivering a business-wide reduction in operational costs• Facilitated a plan to improve client expensive reports, implemented using Python, Spark/Hadoop, and Databricks, resulting in an optimized view for customers• Spearheaded an implementation of the ETL pipeline in support of GDPR’s right-to-be-forgotten

Impacted the development and improvement of software applications which customize and transform client networks. • Collaborated with team members to upgrade the xSIGHT network probe, a telecom industry whole network 4G/LTE traffic analyzer • Enhanced testing procedures and exposed bugs, wrote control plane packet decoders, implemented a journaling system, and authored a portion of the tooling for reconfiguring systems and transferring data between nodes

Worked in Partnership with colleagues to develop and deliver an open-source distributed analytics backend for MySQL.• Conceived, designed, and coded MPP algorithms to process SQL queries, the low-level infrastructure messaging layer, job distributor and scheduler, block loader and cache, and data versioning• Supported the product through the entire SDLC in a variety of technical roles, including architect, QA engineer, system administrator, system builder, team leader, and sales engineer • Spearheaded improvements to developer productivity and a reduction in operational costs through virtualizing the development and testing platform and by migrating the team from Subversion to GIT

• Added Mandatory Access Controls (MAC) and some Compartmented-Mode Workstation extensions to the Mac OS X kernel, similar to LSM on Linux. This allows admins to apply a wide range of security policies to the system. The FreeBSD team, Open Darwin, and Apple have integrated our modifications. (C/C++/Mac/UNIX) • Contributed to the port of SELinux to FreeBSD, called SEBSD (see www.trustedbsd.org), with the goal of porting it to Mac OS X, called SEDarwin. (C/C++/UNIX)• Prototyped a specification-based intrusion detection system on Linux in C++ for DARPA.Linux kernel modules for sensors, Java/Swing GUI, CLIPS backend.• Investigated complementary applications of static code analysis, in particular, automatic model generation given the binary of the program(s) to monitor. (x86 Assembly)• Led a study on Java reverse engineering techniques for the Air Force Research Lab.• Developed technology to improve the speed of our (McAfee’s) flagship product at the time (Webshield) by at least 2x. (C/C++/Linux/OpenSSL/many others).
