• Standardized environments, setup compute and file servers, mail, web, and binary servers under Solaris 2.x
• Installed several automated backup servers using shell scripts and backup software, included balancing of backup servers, catastrophy recovery, and script enhancement.
• Upgraded/moved NIS and DNS master and slave servers.

• Completely reconfigured Luxsonor Semiconductor worldwide Unix servers. This included building their corporate SMTP mail server Solaris 2.6 and sendmail 8.8.8 upgraded in December 2000 to Solaris 8 with secure sendmail 8.9.3 , Ultra 2 file server with Solaris 2.7 and Sun Online Disksuite on SCSI disk packs, 4 Ultra 2 compute servers, NIS, pop mail for clients, NFS automounter, backups, patches, VINA router/firewall.

• Server upgrades and daily user support.
• Support of application software and license servers for Mentor Graphics, Frame, Synopsys, Verilog, Cadence, and other software

• Initiated automatic system level backup scripts and usage of Amanda for backup of user data.
• Shell scripts to probe network and produce summary reports.
• Built unix kernals for supporting specific hardware and software.
• Server upgrades and daily user support.

• Solaris 2.x transition of the Sun MicroSystems Milpitas CA corporate campus, working with a team of Solaris systems administrators to transition nearly 3000 clients and 800 servers from SunOS 4.x to Solaris 2.x. Each subnet consisted of an install server for booting and installing Solaris on each client, a compute server for Xhosting SunOS 4.x applications, a software binary server, and a client server. Responsibilities also included configuration of several Solaris installation/boot servers, and user support. Extensive user contact.
• Installed boot servers for multiple sun architecture for booting servers and clients over the network for maintenance and upgrade purposes.
• Configured a classroom of 16 workstations for multiple operating systems, SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.x

• Sun Unix Systems Administration for approximately 20 workstations, file server, mail, backups, NIS

• Product Software Engineer, field technical services USCO

Software Engineering Experience, major accomplishments:

• Solely ported 90,000 line FORTRAN IV GENESIS PROJECT software to FORTRAN 77 and "C" under PC/DOS from an IBM VM/CMS operating system.
• Ported and converted the graphics portions of a 35,000 line FORTRAN IV Qualitynet software from HP-1000 RTE to TurboSPC product under PC/DOS using Borland "C".
• Developed vector to raster software for Qualitynet software using FORTRAN IV. Ported such software to Borland "C" under PC/DOS for TurboSPC package. Wrote "C" and FORTRAN versions of similar software for GENESIS PROJECT. The final versions were table driven and extendable, which included bitmap font impressions.
• Developed an algorithm for displaying several thousand vectors per second on an Intel 80286-12 that was not dependent upon an 80287 math coprocessor using interactive display lists. This included a built in transformation that allowed for dynamic pan and zoom controlled by a mouse or keyboard.
• Designed, programmed, and marketed an astronomical application environment for IBM PCs. This included performing marketing surveys, designing the graphics astronomical application, programming, testing, writing a Reference Manual and a Tutorial Manual, marketing, distributing, and support of such product, which consisted of 90,000 lines of code.
• Wrote a POSTSCRIPT interface for the TurboSPC application package in "C"/DOS. Development/enhancement of 35,000 lines of "C" code for TurboSPC.
• Developed a graphic compression method that can condense vector graphics as much as 10 times, savings of 50 times possible when compared to compressed bitmaps such as TIF or GIF.
• Extensive development of transformation matrices for scaling world coordinate systems in 2-D and 3-D workspaces, including rotation, scaling, and displacement.
• Designed and wrote software used for the generation of star maps, CAD, layout of optical assemblies, and processing of images. This required writing screen management facilities including mouse and windowing software for an IBM80x86 environment, using MS FORTRAN 77 and "C". This included writing a GUI interface that supported over 40 graphic modes, including VGA and SVGA and multiple hardware vendor graphic cards.
• Wrote a graphics editor for manipulation of stored metafile graphics in a 2-D or 3-D workspace.
• Programmed an animation system using single-cell animation of stored metafile frames of graphics.
• Written several device drivers for vector, raster, incremental plotters, and laser printers.
• Wrote parsing emulators for the conversion of HPGL protocol into metafile format. This software worked by tokenating the HPGL plotter commands, built command and operand stacks, and interpreted the command and operand stacks in order to convert the plotter code into metafile format.
• Designed and wrote software product user and reference manuals.
