As an applied R&D geophysicist, I processed and analyzed many extremely noisy, large-scale (GB) seismic data.Among projects of production impact are having:• produced an interactive Java application to depict on-demand accurate microseismic hypocenters in 3D time-space on UNIX workstations from big data loaded in distributed Linux clusters,• developed an automated noisy-data rejection module based on multi-dimensional statistical noise analysis to raise an overall data quality of any microseismic tera-byte recordings, and• implemented in short notice a production-quality Radon transform for attenuating strong coherent noise in C++ / Java to win a project bid as required by clients.A routine prerequisite of my big-data analysis is to edit, cleanse, and sharpen raw data fraught with all kinds of noise, so any subsequent laborious and compute-intensive processing and analysis are of highest-possible quality and with fastest-possible turnaround. Analysis insights so gained often allow me to find new innovative methods or refine existing techniques in automated seismic signal detection.

I leveraged my software, math, and physics background to fast-evolving telecom technology.• Designed and developed value-added services for VPN (Virtual Private Network) and Service Logic processing in Advanced Intelligent Network for rapid deployment,• Implemented, integrated, and system-tested telephony-over-internet SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) leading to successful MCI participation of the first VoIP SIP bakeoff in 1999, and• Key contributor in engineering design, development, implementation, system integration, and quality assurance testing at 3 startups and Alcatel-Lucent on new products and mandatory services in the dynamic and fluid mobile protocol evolution of 2G GSM, GPRS, 3G UMTS, and 4G LTE.I'm well-versed in telecom use cases, protocols, Agile/Scrum development methodology for adding new or updating features, system testing for 5-9 product deliveries, and telecom Key Performance Index (KPI) analytics analysis.

Enjoy engaging and interacting with students on today's technological needs and challenges, receiving many high reviews from evening students with higher enrollees than those of the same concurrent classes.Can't resist solving good Kakuro, KenKen, Sudoku puzzles and have my own published Sudoku mobile apps in iOS and Android markets (Apple iTunes, Google, Amazon, NOOK) since 2009.

I focused on developing innovative seismic data processing techniques, optimizing compute-intensive algorithms, and transitioning from batch to user-friendly analysis tools on UNIX workstations.Among projects of production impact are having:• parallelized compute-intensive time-to-space imaging algorithms on Cray supercomputers to achieve 4-fold reduction in clock-time,• developed automatic picking of first time-arrivals based on machine-learning algorithms for noisy land data to displace labor-intensive human picking in production processing, and• designed and implemented result-oriented interactive AVO (amplitude-versus-offset) analysis tools in C / X-Window for hydrocarbon-indicator validation in production usage and reports.
