Experience
IBM Almaden Research Center: IBM lead and software system architect for the System F6 fractionated space system project. Previously, lead for Collective Intelligent Bricks Software project, which investigated a scalable, easy-to-manage distributed storage system for customers that need in excess of a petabyte of storage.

Highlights:

  • Developed a family of algorithms for making resource allocation decisions in a self-managing storage system. These algorithms take abstract specifications of an application's data capacity, performance, and reliability requirements, and compute where data should be placed and what kind of redundancy code (RAID 1, RAID 5, or higher-level codes) should be used.
  • Developed an efficient algorithm for performance isolation and IO scheduling in a storage device. This algorithm ensures that each application using a storage device will receive a specified level of performance, and will share unused performance fairly among active applications.
  • Collaborated with an IBM Business Partner in Japan to determine their needs when deploying large-scale storage systems. Guided their investigation, helping them determine what investigations to perform and how to refine the results. This collaboration has led to a detailed model of the costs associated with specifying, installing, and operating storage systems.
  • IBM Principal Investigator for joint IBM-CMU research project on self-* storage systems (with Greg Ganger, CMU).

Panasas: Software architect responsible for assisting with overall product specification and design, with special focus on storage appliance design and construction, QA test definition and measurement, and on storage management tools. Working with marketing group to help determine target customer, understand their needs and requirements. Developing high-level vision for storage management for product. Managed team for developing part of the appliance product. Assisted with standards group work.

Highlights:

  • Designed and managed implementation team for the Panasas object storage device (OSD). Wrote the SCSI command set definition, which is the basis for SNIA OSD work; designed the network server to implement the commands.
  • Designed a new BSD file system optimised for use inside an OSD, with special emphasis on high performance and reliability.
  • Defined the Panasas approach to system management, software upgrade, and test automation.
  • Designed and helped implement portions of the internal distributed file system, with focus on system consistency and performance.

Storage Systems Program, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories: Led research on highly-reliable, large-scale, self-managing distributed storage systems; ran technology transfer activities with a partner product division for some of this work. Researched flexible disk arrays (the HP AutoRAID system) and adaptive idle time detection/use. Managed two other researchers for part of the time.

Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam: Researched wide-area application support, including weak consistency group communication and object-based models for organizing distributed applications. Supervised a PhD student on this work. Taught a course on Computer Networking, assisted with Operating Systems practicum.

Ricoh California Research Center: Design consultant for a software development project using C++ and an OODBMS. Project emphasis was on long-term maintainability and reusability, and involved teaching software engineering to a small development group and guiding them through the design process.

Concurrent Systems Project, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories: Designed a lightweight distributed database system, based on a novel approach to distributed state abstraction, for use in a high-performance multiprocessor file server. Conducted research on data replication in internetwork environments; developed a family of algorithms for replica access in an internetwork; conducted preliminary investigations into a family of replication mechanisms that provide efficient, controlled inconsistency among replicas; investigated self-reorganizing disk systems as part of the DataMesh high-performance storage system project.

Crucible: Worked as project lead for Crucible on the Sun OpenLook window manager (OLWM) for OpenWindows, responsible for overall design of the product implementation and for liaison with Sun staff; participated in two ports of the MIT X11R3 sample server to specialized environments, including to SCO Unix with specialized graphics hardware based on the TI34010; designed and implemented several X11 applications using the X Toolkit including animation support tools.

Microsoft Corporation: Worked on Presentation Manager for OS/2 1.1 and 2.0. Handled design and prototypes for the multi-line edit control introduced in OS/2 1.1; assisted in evaluation of several internationalization efforts within the Presentation Manager group; designed the messaging architecture for PM for OS/2 2.0, providing a structure for messaging in the v2.0 multiple-mode environment.

City of Bellingham Computer Services Division: Developed MIS applications for a Wang VS, including front-office accounting and building permit tracking; developed system software for the VS including a resource lock manager, print queue management, a serial device controller, and output formatting tools.

Technique Data Systems: Developed and maintained large MIS software systems for public works tracking and repair shop automation.

Orion Systems: Developed and maintained custom software systems in office automation, pharmacy record-keeping, and financial planning.
