Tested the Adaptive Content Optimization (ACO) feature of Sycamore Networks' IQStream solution for the Radio Access Network (RAN) whereby traffic is compressed between the operator's Radio Network Controller and Node B base stationsTested the Automatic Congestion Management (ACM) feature for Sycamore Networks' IQStream solution for the Radio Access Network whereby data streams using large amounts of bandwidth are paced (limited) in order to allow data streams using small amounts of bandwidth to benefit by increasing the bandwidth available to themUtilized the IXIA P400 platform and content servers to generate traffic in order to test featuresParticipated in the Agile software development methods

Developed automated hardware and software tests for various Dell/Equallogic data storage arrays using Perl programming language on a Red Hat Linux Enterprise platformLearned the functioning of data storage arrays and their functionality including RAID and iSCSI storage technologiesWorked in cooperation with other groups to create new automation test casesUpdated existing test case documentation to match current automation tests and developed test cases that did not exist for automated testsThoroughly executed existing tests in order to expose and remedy software and procedural bugs and non-conformitiesModularized existing Perl programs to make them more easily maintainable, efficient and versatile
