EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, 2009 - Present
Saratoga, CA

Currently porting distributed real-time software products from VxWorks to Linux (2.6 kernel). Functionality includes interprocess communication (IPC), TCP/UDP/IP network communication (sockets, Ethernet multicasting, Winsock compatibility), data acquisition, system control, equipment monitoring and control, software fault tolerance, I/O processing, and time-driven event processing. Effort also includes POSIX threads, Linux kernel development for “upcall” implementation and loadable kernel modules (LKMs), Linux device driver modifications, and embedded Linux board support package (BSP) issue resolution for PowerPC and ARM-based processors.

Confidential, Ground Systems Division 2007 - 2009
Santa Clara, CA

Served as the chief software architect for the FCS Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) mission software of the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) program. Wrote system requirements (using DOORS), created the architecture, high-level design, and detailed design (using Rational Rose UML models) for all distributed real-time software, as well as the mission application software (including fault management, capability assessment, system reprogramming, limited mobility, remote vehicle servo motor control, and built-in test). Coded and integrated the distributed real-time software (using Advanced Realtime Systems, Inc. software products) and numerous mission-critical application modules into POSIX-based networked systems running Linux, VxWorks, and LynxOS. Software was developed in a CMMI Level 5 environment.

Confidential,2004 - 2006
Kanata, Ontario, Canada

Served as the program manager, software project manager, chief architect, and technical lead for a real-time embedded radar system. Management duties included contract administration, cost estimation, budgeting, scheduling, project planning/control, staffing, training, technical/team leadership, customer interface, risk reduction methodology, status monitoring, and software reviews. Technical duties included system architecture/analysis, designing/developing the distributed (multithreaded/multiprocessor/asynchronous) real-time software, implementing modifications to VxWorks (RTOS, BSP for PowerPC DSP hardware, and TCP/IP stack), and writing an embedded device driver to interface with shared memory and a switched fabric network.

Confidential,2001 - 2004
Sylmar, CA

Serving as the chief software architect, technical team leader, and VxWorks real-time and networking expert for an entertainment and broadcasting industry distributed real-time embedded control system. Duties include defining the distributed software architecture and physical hardware architecture, designing/implementing the real-time and networking software components (including several custom VxWorks device drivers), and designing all of the real-time applications. The environment consists of networked (via redundant LANs and the Internet) PC/104s running VxWorks (developed using Tornado). All real-time reentrant modules and device drivers are written to be VxWorks ISR safe, and make extensive use of VxWorks internals, system services, and the TCP/IP stack. A VxWorks Board Support Package (BSP) development effort was also performed. The distributed real-time software functionality includes data acquisition, interprocess communication, network communication across numerous topologies, system control, equipment monitoring and control, software fault tolerance, I/O processing, and time-driven processing. Other duties include providing fixes and workarounds for VxWorks and Tornado bugs.
