- Objective-C and Apple's iOS- Bluetooth Low Energy work with Apple's iOS.- Connecting other embedded devices to iPhones, iPads and iPods. Dock and Bluetooth.- Embedded systems programming, including 68K, Coldfire, Kinetis, TI DSP, MSP430, AVR, and PIC.- Embedded OS work, including Linux, MQX, FreeRTOS and others.- C++, C and Assembly, both pure and mixed applications.- CAN, SPI, I2C, and Ethernet networks.- Bootstrapping systems, getting coprocessors and FPGAs programed and initializing various other bits of hardware.- Offloading UI to web browsers, taking advantage of HTML5 to minimize load on an embedded system.- Working with Lua to add future expandability to apps.

One of three Founders, jointly designing the core systems. As one of the technical types, am also involved with implementing the system.- Developed a Distributed Hash Table based on the Kademlia papers.- Designed and developed a mapping system that uses the DHT and relaying servers to allow two machines to connect to each other, even in the presence of NATs.

- Working with the core CLVM team to improve and polish the GULM library APIs such that CLVM works well with GULM.- Helped diagnose and eradicate bugs in GFS.- Headed the work on analyzing, preparing, and transitioning the GULM code to an Open Source Development model.

- Designed and developed a library interface to the GULM architecture to allow other applications to take advantage of the cluster and locking services.- Designed and developed a server based lock and client manager, GULM, for GFS. GULM consists of multiple fail-over enabled servers running in user space and clients running in kernel space.- Designed and developed a TCP/IP based emulation of the DMEP (Device Memory Export Protocol) SCSI protocol. DMEP was used by another layer to provide a locking mechanism for GFS.- Investigated multiple methods of producing a fail-over capable version of the TCP/IP DMEP emulation server, before choosing and implementing a disk backed method.- Initial design and implementation of POSIX range lock support in GFS.- Continued to maintain the GFS How-To until an official manual was written.

- Designed and developed GLM. The first lock server for GFS that was not based on a prior SCSI specification.- Designed and developed a TCP/IP emulation of the DLOCK (Device Locks) SCSI protocol.- Designed and developed the initial version of GNBD. A network based block device intended to work with closely with GFS when a SAN was not available.- Drafted the initial GFS How-To, and was the primary editor for the following revisions.- Linux and FreeBSD system administration.

Helped service and maintain SGI, Sun, and Linux workstations.

- Helped service and maintain SGI, Sun, Linux, and Macintosh workstations.- Started investigating a method of single floppy installation of new linux workstations.
