Extensive experience in inventing (over 30 patents issued), developing, and managing the creation of innovative products based on computer technology. This has spanned applications from high performance parallel processing database computer hardware and distributed database software, to network security applications and most recently personal genomics. I have experience in managing engineers, creating software, developing hardware, and working with customers.Management: At Edico Genome, I created a 16 person engineering team from scratch and led them through successful completion of the first DRAGEN prototype in record time. At Tarari/LSI, I led software developers through creation of a multiplatform anti-spam acceleration solution that was integrated with Symantec’s products. At NCR/Teradata I led a 17 person engineering team through successful design and deployment of the BYNET network subsystem.Customers: At Edico Genome, I led customers through the pilot release evaluation and technical sales process. At Tarari, I gave technical pitches to customers and helped them understand how to integrate RegEx technology into their products. I gave tutorials to Teradata customers on how the BYNET worked. I have exceptional communication skills and can explain complex ideas to any audience at a level they can understand.Software: In the early days at Edico Genome, I wrote a tool to help debug the first hardware. At ParAccel, I modified the database software to make communications fault tolerant and improve performance. I wrote the compilers for translating regular expressions into code executable by Tarari's RegEx engines.Hardware: At Edico Genome, I co-invented the architecture of the DRAGEN hardware pipeline. At Tarari/LSI, I defined the architecture of the original RegEx engine and collaborated with another architect on three subsequent generations. I architected and led the development of the BYNET network, based on two ASICS at Teradata/NCR.
