Skills:

• Software Development Information Technology
• Troubleshooting/debugging Configuration/Network Management
• Realtime Embedded Systems Team Leader and Team Player
• Quality Assurance/System test Fault Tolerance/redundancy
• Took leadership of the Configuration/Network Management Team at Avici Systems only 6 weeks away from a critical deadline After a thorough analysis revealed fatal design flaws in the existing architecture, architected a very simple object-oriented get/set function call API along with a new multi-threaded architecture using BSD sockets, pipes, and Sun RPC transport for transparent access to distributed data My team delivered scalable tested software well before the deadline, allowing company to secure 15 Million dollars in venture capital funding
• Performed analysis of Winny2p Japanese Peer 2 Peer file sharing application Implemented man in the middle attack to compute shared rc4 cipher key used to encrypt p2p flows key computation logic ran on M68K DPI switch and as executable on x86 PC for testing both big and little endian
• Designed and implemented scalable distributed dynamic debug system in very aggressive time frame Allowed network operators to enable/disable discrete debug messages for any subsystem on the router with minimal performance impact on the system
