Work Experience

Software Engineer @ Iquity Systems: 02/2000 - 03/2002 Worked in a team to develop a system for sponsored Internet access. Primary developer of the application which controlled the entire user session from start to end. The application was written in C++ as an NT service, with heavy use of multithreading. DCOM was used for communication with the other parts of the system.

CGI/System programmer @ Web Communications: 12/1997 - 11/1999 Developed and maintained code for customer services and internal systems. Programming languages used were Perl, SQL and C in Sun Solaris and Linux environments. In addition, I wrote C modules for Netscapes' Web Server and implemented a POP-email system for tens of thousands of users. Most of the work was done in Perl, C and Transact-SQL.

Technical support/System administration @ Peripheral Solutions: 07/1993 - 12/1997 Did technical support and troubleshooting of SCSI peripherals in SUN, SGI, and NeXTStep environments. Wrote installation documentation for peripherals, some of which involved relinking the kernel in Sun and SGI environments. Wrote a driver for a 6-disk CDROM jukebox. Gave advice and training to build technicians and led RAID builds.

Programmer @ UC Santa Cruz, Wave Propagation Lab: 05/1990 - 03/1993 Wrote and maintained programs for the display of scientific data. Wrote an animation program and a vector font library. Also worked on a driver routine for a optical disk recorder. Most of this work was done in C on Sun and SGI workstations.

Systems Analyst @ Program Control Corporation: 06/1987 - 07/1989 Debugged subroutines, added new features and tested the Mark III Project Management System. Work was done in Fortran and 80x86 assembly language.
