EMPLOYMENT HISTORY PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER ~ TRUEPOSITION, WESTBOROUGH MA 20082010

Assessed hardware and software requirements to assist in the selection of a next -generation hardware platform for the TruePosition Wireless Location System. App ointed as the lead developer responsible for building a Centralized Authenticati on Server for deployment in an existing customer network. Utilized a 1U rack mount server, WindRiver Linux 3.0, and open source LDAP softw are to build server from the ground up. Developed all software using C++ and obj ect oriented techniques. Notable Achievements: Developed software in an Agile environment using C++ and object oriented design for the TruePosition Wireless Location platform; currently deployed to l ocate cell phones with very high accuracy for E911 and security purposes Drove all efforts to implement 3G (UMTS) support for the existing platfo rm to enable location of 3G wireless devices Innovated the installable software package, which included all LDAP soft ware, server configuration, necessary kernel modules, and host libraries Masterfully led the IP Backhaul project to merge existing TDM/T1-based c ustomers into more scalable IP-based networks Created a new high availability infrastructure on TruePositions Wireless Lo cation Processor using TIPC and socket-based programming as a foundation, which accommodated both legacy TDM connections and IP-based connections simultaneously Restructured the TruePositions Fault Management infrastructure to handle al arms and initiate switchovers while supporting both IP- and TDM-based location r equests Instrumental in developing unit tests for every feature created, which a utomatically executed at build time Served as a significant contributor in the design and functional specifi cations for every project mentioned PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER ~ ENEA, NASHUA NH 20062008

Presided over the fault management infrastructure within ENEAs Element Middleware d esigned to run on OSE and any other Linux distribution. Rendered high level of a ssistance in the design and development of in-service upgrade. Generated documentation, such as design specifications, functional specification s, and user manuals. Developed all software using C and object oriented techniqu es. Notable Achievements: Commended as the project leader and lead developer responsible for redes igning Elements fault management through the implementation the Service Availabilit y Forums AMF (Availability Management Framework) Successfully completed the AMF project based on the B.02 and B.03 specif ications using C and object oriented design techniques Conceptualized and implemented innovative test strategies and tools for all of Elements services Built an environment using virtual machines to aid in testing large soft ware clusters CONSULTING SOFTWARE ENGINEER ~ CEDARPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, DERRY NH 20022006

Constructed an embedded generic protocol trace infrastructure, which is currentl y used in the field to capture S7, MGCP, and SIP as well as some proprietary pro tocols. Provided guidance to SQE, manufacturing, and other developers in troubleshooting system problems and fault as well as analyzing root cause. Developed all softwa re using C and object oriented techniques.

Notable Achievements: Pivotal in designing and implementing the Redundancy / Fault infrastruct ure for CedarPoints SAFARI C3 class 5 Voice over IP switch, which consistently prot ects against outages in deployed systems Improved CedarPoints existing logging and debug trace infrastructure; optim ized tracing and logging infrastructure reliability and efficiency Earned comprehensive knowledge in call processing and TCP/IP protocols Intensified the development of automated test tools using TCL/TK and Exp ect to verify redundancy infrastructure as well as detect software and hardware faults Rewrote system initialization within the product, which greatly enhanced system stability and scalability Gained distinction as the project lead for Safari OC3 support, a project that includes new board bring up, provisioning of Sonet/SDH interfaces, APS and equipment redundancy PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER ~ RIVERDELTA NETWORKS (ACQUIRED BY MOTOROLA), TEWKSB URY MA 20002002 Oversaw the implementation of system BITS clock timing, as well as a full-featur ed command line interface for hardware / software configuration. Instituted SONE T/SDH statistics, BER calculations and SONET / SDH MIBs into the product archite cture. Built both Linear and Ring APS architecture for SONET port and board redundancy. Supported hardware engineering with board bring up and diagnostics, as well as FPGA designers with verification, and embedded driver development. Developed all software using C and object oriented techniques. Notable Achievements: Reputed as the lead embedded systems developer for the BSR-64000s High Spee d OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 ATM and Packet over Sonet interface cards Devised software and device drivers for RiverDeltas Broadband Services Rout er (BSR-64000) Originated device drivers for all SONET/SDH hardware, including an OC48 add-drop multiplexer Demonstrated in-depth knowledge in SONET/SDH standards and Packet over S onet
