Networking Engineering Resume

SUMMARY

I have a total of 20+ years of experience in the networking and storage industries. During the last 13 years I have acted in senior roles on projects that included a Storage Services Switch, a Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre Channel Storage switch, an IP router/IP switch, a DSLAM, a cable modem head-end and a third generation ATM switch. Early on in my career I worked on TDM switches.

SW Project Manager, Confidential, San Jose, CA.

As Product manager was involved in the following:

Focused on Cisco’s new Data Center network consolidation initiative which involved concepts like Data Center Ethernet and FCoE and intelligent storage services and network based storage virtualization to help Cisco’s sales team to better articulate Cisco product differentiation.
As part of Cisco’s network based storage virtualization initiative was involved in integrating storage arrays from vendors including EMC, NetApp, Hitachi, HP and IBM.
Was also responsible for virtualization architecture at Andiamo’s Fabric based Storage Virtualization initiative (now part of Cisco).
Worked intensively on Fibre Channel (FC2, FCP), SCSI (SAM, SBC, SPC), Volume Manager (RAID, Pooling, tiering, migration, performance monitoring and diagnostics) and other storage services such as Remote Replication, LDR, CDP, CoW/NoW Snapshots, besides having managed the software development team.

Nov 2000 – Oct 2002: Chief Architect, Confidential, San Jose, CA.

Led a team on delivering Intelligent Storage Services in a Fibre Channel/IP Storage Router. Besides the engineering challenge, also worked on building the business case (at the time we started, we did not have people in the marketing group that understood the solution).
Was responsible in helping to develop and deliver a high end, 160-Gbps chassis-based, high availability Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre channel Storage Router.
As chief software architect of the project worked with a team of ASIC and hardware engineers to ensure that the necessary hooks to deliver QoS and high availability were designed.
