From 20 hours to 20 minutes to 2 minutes to 2 seconds. The Linux data acquisition system took 20 hours to capture the prior day's activity. Steve volunteered to fix it. Sharded database queries reduced elapsed time from 20 hours to 20 minutes. Threaded programming and parallel processing produced spectacular results with elapse time at 2 minutes. Finally, every query was tuned to less than 2 seconds.• 1 billion rows in 1 second - Steve developed the ETL to load 1 billion rows of Apache log data. Partitioned tables helped manage the data. In one second rolling 30 day queries delivered summarized results of activity in 20 data centers with 1000s of web and MySQL servers. The Apache web app displayed summary data with clickable drill-down detail to individual sites.• Steve partnered with Banner CIS to implement the public utility management system at the City of Palo Alto. This involved migration off the legacy COBOL system to a client server system based on Oracle. The system managed meter readers and meter data for water, gas and electric consumption. It printed and mailed all bills to city residents. It was a huge win for the city.• Steve led the development of an 8D quality management application for engineers managing worldwide operations at National Semiconductor. This reduced defect detection time and increased efficiencies for the manufacture of discreet semi-conductor chips and embedded processors.
