I worked at Xilinx as a Software Engineer working on Build Systems and the Xilinx properietary tool(s) called XMM and Xbuild. I was coding in C and Perl on the build tools that were used by the developers to build their libraries across three platforms (HP, SOL, Win). My job duties also engaged me to help developers with writing correct makefiles and how to use the XMM build language that was developed in house.

I was an intern at Lucent Technologies, Bell Labs (latter became Avaya) and worked in the Messaging Divsion providing web tools for process flow, quality assurance and documentation. I developed some really neat web based front end tools for the teams for interaction with the back-end systems.

Through out my college days i worked the evening shifts at CINS - the University of Colorado. I was assisting students and faculty with their computing needs. We would receive various requests like setting up student/faculty email accounts and provide applications support.
