Engr., 1996 1998 Multi vendor computer reservation system backend. I was responsible for bringing in new hardware and creating new backend software to allow access to multiple computer reservation systems reservation systems (SABRE, Apollo, WorlDSPan, SystemOne, Amadeues). Basically it is a router. I was also responsible for provisioning, and problem resolution with the respective Network Operation Centers. This was SCO/SunOS based. I worked remotely. IDT, Hackensack, NJ, Sr. Soft. Engr., 1995-1996 Created a remote secure user/ppp account provisioning system for a IDT, for their associated ISP partners running Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Lockheed Sanders, Sr. Soft. Engr., 1994-1995 HOT SWAP 4 channel serial device driver under Solaris. HOT SWAP S-BUS/VME-BUS pseudo nexus device driver, SCSI device Drivers. This was part of the AFMSS program. I was solely responsible for this work and it required reverse engineering SUN kernel code in Solaris. Digital Equipment, Sr. Soft. Engr., 1993-1994 UFS, cdrom, and general file system utilities and kernel. Charles River Data Systems, Sr. Soft. Engr., 1991-1992 Port of Unos Kernel, creation of disk stripe and shadow, port of yellow pages, slip, file lock, LAN driver, SCSI driver, SIO driver I was solely responsible for these area. Geophysical Corporation of America Sr. Soft. Engr. 1989-1991 Fast database back end and communications facility. I was solely responsible for this work. Created, debugged, and documented data base engine for XLS semiconductor wafer stepper. This was a 37,000 line C++ program which directly provided data base functionality and communications to both Solaris and VxWorks components. The task included it's own data base backend.
