-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Seeking a non-management software development position in a *NIX
	or embedded enviornment.  Relocation is acceptable.

Education:

	The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH  (1997-2000)
	Declared Major: Computer Science (Engineering)

Current Projects:

	Primary Maintainer of a port of the Linux kernel to 
	Sun 3/xxx workstations. (http://sammy.net/sun3) 

Skills:
	UNIX Programmer -- Most experience using ANSI/POSIX C, but have 
	also worked on large C++ projects.  Most familiar with
	Linux/Solaris, with additional knowledge of other UNIX systems.
	Has worked on development/porting efforts on most major Linux 
	distributions, dating across several years.

	CDMA2000 Network Protocols -- Siginficant experience with several
	components of a CDMA2000 network stack, including implementation
	of A9/A11 protocol stacks, and significant development on Abis,
	rlp, and other protocol layers.

	Network Programming -- Significant development experience with
        TCP/IP based network applications, including protocol development
        from RFC (and other) documentation, and through reverse 
	engineering.

	Linux kernel development -- Have written, and currently maintain
	several Linux device drivers, in addition to the architectural
	code associated with the sun3/3x port.

	Embedded development -- Worked with the PSOS operating 
	environment on m68k (68360) and PowerPC (MPC860) targets, 
	as well as several embedded compilers for both targets. 

	Language Familiarity -- Fluent in C, C++, Python, Bourne
	Shell, with additional knowledge of Perl, Ruby, and several
        assembly variants (m68k, powerpc, hitachi SH, i386)
	
Work Experience (within field):

	Vanu Inc
	Cambridge MA
	Software Engineer: 5/2006-Present

	Worked on various components of Software Defined Radio
	systems.  Responsibilities ranged from implementing
	communications protocols for a prototype WiMax PHY interface,
	SCTP/SS7 signaling gateways, and low level interfaces with 
	RF hardware.

	Developed A9/A11 1xRTT data interfaces for a CDMA2000 BSS
	product, worked on several other components of the CDMA BSS.
	
	Starbak Communications
	Columbus, OH/Waltham, MA
	Development Lead/Principal Engineer: 1/2000-4/2006

	Reverse engineered, designed, and implemented a Windows Media
	protocol based streaming media server running on Linux. 
	Integrated this server, as well as other system components into
	an embedded "appliance" system, writing a substantial amount
	of the system glue code to make a true "appliance" like product
	on a minimal linux distribution.  Reverse engineering tasks
	included the ASF/WMV file format (before it had been published),
	along with the MMS (undocumented protocol) and RTSP (undocumented
	extensions) streaming media protocols, as well as a proprietary
	multicast streaming system.

	Designed and implemented a Linux-based media player using 
        much of the same code developed during the server project
        above.  Later ported from the original x86 platform (software
	decode), to an embedded target using a PowerPC host with a TI
	DSP for video decoding.  Updated previous appliance code/build 
	scripts for more modern linux "appliance" environment. 


	Telecommunications Techniques Corporation
	Germantown, MD
	Software Engineer: 4/1999-9/1999
	
	Embedded development -- Telecommunications.  Product was a T1
	(primarily) testing unit used by field technicians for digital
	line testing.  Ported code bases for a 68360 based board and 
	an MPC860 based board from different proprietary C++ compilers
	to g++, along with some PCMCIA driver development.
	
	Byrd Polar Research Center
	Ohio State University, Columbus, OH
	Systems Administrator: 3/1998-4/1999

	Administrator for 20+ workstations in a mixed SunOS/Solaris/OSF-1/
	Windows NT/Linux network.
	
Other Projects (partial list):

	SH7709 Emulator -- Emulates the Hitachi SH7709 embedded chipset.
			   Implemented functionality includes SH3
			   CPU, SCI serial, 91C94 Ethernet, and IDE disk.
			   (source code available upon request)
	redir -- UNIX networking tool, port forwarder with enhancements.
	imagesort --  X11 based image archival tool.
	fbdoom -- Modification of the DOOM graphics display routines and 
		  keyboard event handler to run using the Linux framebuffer
		  graphics device and raw keyboard mode.
