Confidential, Sunnyvale, CA

Blockchain Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Key developer at Confidential . ( Confidential . Confidential ) for security of blockchain and IoT device security.
• Architect and deployed global Ethereum-derived blockchain and cryptocurrency assets in preparation for ICO.
• Setup international blockchain private network nodes. Stealth projects for IoT development.
• Secure embedded devices and SELinux.

Embedded Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Development and support for OpenSwitch Linux distribution test and infrastructure on AS5712 switches.
• Activities include Python test development for virtualization ( Confidential ) as well as hardware (using POD Manager) to configure and exercise complex features such as mirroring and QoS features and stress tests.
• Work was done on-site and coordinated with remote teams in Costa Rica.

Embedded Developer

Responsibilities:

• Android and Embedded Development, WAN/LAN and Security Solutions Architect.
• Developed C/C++ embedded Linux solutions using Gateworks Laguna and Ventana ARM boards (Cortex and Freescale microprocessors), JTAG programming for kernel bringup, boot loader.
• Built Yocto and OpenWRT based Access Point / Repeater with integrated FIPS crypto, and MESH airborne video surveillance network for STARA technologies.
• Implemented a Hardware Security Module interface for FIPS Level 2 (and Level 1) security for wireless nodes.

Consulting Architect and Lead Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Designed and developed the 360 Field Assistant system using Agile for Android and IOS apps to allow telecommunications field teams to take hundreds of evidence photos for 4G tower construction and work at heights.
• Photos contained GPS location and Google Maps verified address. Photos were provisioned via a scheduling system and database managed by the home office.
• All communications were over the cloud with an integrated Google Drive document management system and Parse. Confidential backend to allow offline retention of data to the devices via SDCard.

Systems Group QA Test Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Numerous projects for multiple airlines (American Airlines, British Airways, Air China, Qatar, etc).
• Acted as QA and Performance Engineer to test, analyze and improve Linux kernel in the embedded Linux seat devices that were responsible for movie playing, Qt based menus / carousels, gaming, etc.
• Test scripts done in Tcl and Python. Airline requirements for pre-emptive passenger announcements (audio and/or video) and video streaming quality were among the tasks.
• Coded C kernel enhancements and a compressed cache driver to use RAM as swap due to out-of-memory conditions and inability to use flash for swap because of wear leveling.
• Effectively doubled the system memory and allowed apps like 3D maps and high memory use audio playlists to run with improved user experience. Architectural transition from Qt to Android.
• Resolved major SCSI / SATA driver performance problem not resolved by Thales, LSI, Lintronix or LKML.org. Responsible for migration to SELinux and other PCI security requirements.
