| Report directly to the
Vice President of Commercial Insurance Infrastructure, a US$2 billion a
year business division. Port of business applications to web-based servers. Technologies implemented involved transaction and SNA servers for the backend DB2 mainframe access, Microsoft IIS web servers and load balancing systems for the web server farm. Technology used was MTS for the CICS transactions, Java applets/components and ASP pages for the user interface. Porting of existing business applications from OS/2 to Windows NT/2000.

| 2/1995 - 12/1995 | Effix, SA | Paris, FRANCE |
| Crossplatform Product Development Manager |
| Reporting directly to
one of the co-founders of Effix, my responsibilities were as manager of
the development group on crossplatform C++ development of Effix's flagship
software product, Kobra, from Unix to OS/2. Kobra is an object oriented
financial application used by investment banking corporations around the
world. My primary duty was to provide management of 25+ people on the
crossplatform development and testing groups. Development was tasked with
porting Kobra from the Sun Unix platform to OS/2. Testing had to ensure
that the Kobra look and feel was maintained across platforms. I managed the development in three phases. Our first phase developed the appropriate build environment on OS/2 and the initial move of the original code from Unix to OS/2. The second phase was to actually start the port and testing. The final phase focused on integration of the ported OS/2 code with the unix based code and continued testing and debugging of problems. Alternate goals I had was to provide training in OS/2 development. This included such topics as C++ development and kernel debugging techniques, threads and multitasking concepts, build and network/communications (TCP/IP) issues, natural language support. Effix is a wholly owned subsidiary of Reuters, Ltd. Reuters and has exclusive marketing agreements with Effix to distribute Kobra worldwide. All development was done onsite at Effix's headquarters in Paris, France. The members of the development, testing and documentation staffs I worked with were of international makeup from France, Switzerland, Great Britain and the United States. The contract was administered by IBM - Austin. Development Environment: OS/2, Windows NT, C++, Sun OS, Roguewave |
| 8/1994 - 2/1995 | Sprint | Kansas City, KS USA |
| TMN Broadband Network Management Consultant |
| Worked with the
research division on architecting and developing a scalable TMN CMIP based
enterprise network management prototype. Developed the solutions from the
network elements to the business layer management, with primary focus at
the Network Element (ATM and SONET) and Element Management Layers.
First architectural phase involved substantial effort in requirements gathering from the separate network management divisions within Sprint. Followed by the design of a CMIP/TMN based solution of the requirements was produced. The prototype was CMIP based with seamless protocol support of TL1 and SNMP at the Network Element Layer. This was achieved by my architecture and development of CMIP based proxy agents. By including additional proxy agents the design supports additional protocols in a manner that is transparent to the upper layers. Each proxy agent provided full support of TMN, Bellcore and ITU related GDMO. Additional CMIP proxy agents could be quickly prototyped due to their object oriented design of the code. The Element Management Layer implemented Objectstore's OODB and XShell for distributed objects (this was pre-Corba days). The goal of the EML was to hide the complexity of XOM/XMP implementation from the developers. This was achieved by architecting and developing C++ based objects which, when incorporated into the distributed objects, did not require apriory XOM/XMP knowledge by the buiness layer developer. Our testbed network was the 10Gigabit MAGIC network. Development Environment: AIX, HPUX, TMN/6000, HP Openview, ATM, SONET, C++ |
| 12/1993 - 8/1994 | Continental Bank of Illinois/Bank of America | Chicago, IL USA |
| WAN Network Management Consultant |
| Worked with the
network management group to manage the architecture and development of
applications to manage the corporate WAN. Our goal was to produce a set of
applications that provided scalable network management of over 100
servers, 4000 workstations, 250 dialup lines and several different network
protocols (Netbios, TCP/IP, LAN Server and Novell IPX). The requirements gathering involved meeting with over 30 different division heads of the bank. Issues addressed were the particular network requirements and the scheduling of the roll out to administer and manage their part of the network. Our group then architected and developed a distributed network managing application, NEWS the Network Early Warning System. The core of our network support operations. NEWS provided the ability to administer and monitor faults in the network. Our developed solution provided the ability to detect faults and page network support personnel in as little as 10 seconds after fault occurrence.

was a five (5) day intensive hands on examination of using XOM/XMP to
develop CMIP based OSI network management applications.I developed the
outline, teacher's guide, overhead foils, student workbooks, and workgroup
laboratory code. The course examined basic XOM/XMP/CMIP concepts,
distributed OSI network management philosophy and actual XOM/XMP/CMIP
