Architected, developed, and drove the deployment of a distributed global security event collection and archival system across all Microsoft's Global Foundation Services. At the time of deployment, this fault tolerant and fully resilient system was collecting and securely archiving over 3.3 billion security events/day.Drove the development of a Security Monitoring Dashboard to provide an all-up view of the health of OSSC core security services, event throughput, and the overall security posture of the numerous online service offerings supported by OSSC's security services.Drove the buildout of a vulnerability management infrastructure used to track security patching for servers hosted within Microsoft’s Global Foundation Services. The system was able to scan and process patch levels on 500,000 plus servers nightly.Managed a team of program managers that drove the delivery of the core O/S security and auditing features into Microsoft Windows Vista.Delivered critical security components on an aggressive ship schedule while facilitating a seamless transition from a decentralized group to an efficient centralized release organization.Drove changes to software development methodologies to leverage the enhanced security features of Windows Vista. Authored MSDN white papers and TechNet articles for the Windows development community to assist the integration of their software with the new Windows Vista security features.

Managed the development, product launch, and lifecycle of HP/Compaq’s business-critical security devices and hardware security modules. Developed strategic plans and product roadmaps, drove development of new products, and directed software certification process for NIST FIPS 140-2 cryptographic security module.Spearheaded architecture, development, and delivery of Atalla’s next-generation, business-critical network security processor on time and on-budget, overcoming logistical hurdles of extremely tight budget/time/staffing constraints to produce the most successful launch in Atalla’s 20-year history based on revenue and market acceptance metrics.Architected and drove delivery of Atalla’s handheld Secure Configuration Assistant (SCA), which combined leading edge industry technology (IPAQ handhelds, Microsoft Pocket PC O/S, and FIPS 140-2 certified SmartCards) with Atalla’s best-in-class security know-how.

Conducted O/S hardware abstraction layer development (including DMA resource and scatter/gather mapping algorithms) for several new CPU designs. Designed dynamic device driver support that included a major re-architecture of kernel bus structures and provided key integration with hardware manager user application (enabling “plug and play” installation) for hot-swap PCI architecture. Made critical enhancements to key interrupt service processing, adding two levels of interrupt service routines to augment system throughputDeveloped scatter/gather memory mapping for multiple CPU configurations to ensure proper kernel function on new hardware designs.Enabled Digial to expand into lucrative government market space by implementing entire PCMCIA subsystem (requiring a completely new bus architecture) for hot-plug support of these devices on TRU64 UNIX that fulfilled new government mandate.
