- SUMMARY
-
- Software designer with fourteen years experience in database and
- programming productivity tools. Can quickly grasp new concepts,
- invent solutions to problems, analyze short-term and long-term
- benefits, implement desired solutions.
-
- EXPERIENCE
-
- NCR Sharebase Business Unit San Jose, CA 1991 - 1992
-
- Evaluated the ANSI SQL '92 standard and compared the added
- features with the present NCR Sharebase product (which is ANSI
- SQL '89 compatible with extensions) to produce a list of
- incompatibilities and a list of enhancements for the Sharebase
- product to make it ANSI SQL '92 Intermediate compliant. Began
- attending ANSI X3H2 (SQL) committee meetings in October, 1992.
-
- Designed a two-phase commit implementation for the ShareBase
- database software. Design conforms to the X/Open XA protocol,
- and minimizes the disruption of existing transaction
- processing code.
-
- Increased performance of various benchmarks by 3% to 20% by
- modifying the mirrored disk selection algorithm.
-
- Increased reliability of numerical processing. Detected,
- isolated, and fixed over 20 bugs in the numeric processing
- code of the database engine.
-
- Responded to over 66 customer support questions, and fixed
- over 82 software problems.
-
- 3Com Corporation Santa Clara, CA 1984 - 1991
-
- Opened new market by designing and implementing distributed
- database engine for LAN server
-
- Increased reliability, reduced memory requirements 5%, and
- added Macintosh file system support in PC-DOS compatible LAN
- server file system
-
- Increased LAN server performance 8% by inventing technique to
- use DMA transfers in cases original designer thought
- impossible
-
- Minimized memory usage of smart network card by implementing
- a state machine interface to its on-board protocols
-
- Implemented stress test program to analyze bug in LAN server
- hardware, setting new standard for QA testing, additionally
- uncovering bugs in at least five subsequent hardware and
- software products
-
- Eliminated confusion at software release time by implementing
- file comparison utility with specialized knowledge of variety
- of file types, allowing irrelevant file differences in each
- type to be ignored
-
- Reduced COGS by saving 4 of 7 diskettes for LAN server
- software by implementing compression utility
-
- Fulfilled special needs in QA department by writing Test
- Language Compiler
-
- Improved productivity by writing Make utility twice as fast as
- Sage Software's PolyMake, and with many additional features
-
- Saved 50% of organizational overhead for projects by creating
- on-line library of programmer's tools
-
- Designed and implemented highly automated system for software
- release
-
- Tandem Computers Cupertino, CA 1979 - 1984
-
- Increased reliability of file system, disk drivers, and
- related system utilities, by fixing over 130 bugs
-
- Increased performance 20% while porting above software to
- Tandem's second machine architecture
-
- Increased performance 15% while porting TMF (Transaction
- Monitoring Facility) software to the second architecture;
- reduced configuration time from eight hours to a half-hour for
- typical installations
-
- Increased performance and predictability of disk driver
- software
-
- Designed highly automated utility for program building
