SUMMARY OF WORK EXPERIENCE
Twenty
plus years experience as a Software Engineer and Project Manager performing
such functions as software system architecture specification, design,
implementation, integration and hands on testing of embedded and non-embedded
real time applications using OOA/OOD and SA/SD methodologies in organizations
whose CMM ratings ranged from Level 2 to Level 5 along with custom development
of three microprocessor based kernels. Project management duties include
chairing weekly review meetings of other software engineers and IT personnel,
formulating reports to higher management in the form of progress reports,
providing technical guidance to team members and updating project schedules and
deadlines. Project team sizes have
ranged from a small software engineering team of 3 to an IT division numbering
30. This development career also includes OSI stacked protocol communication
and network applications on a wide variety of platforms for government,
commercial, aerospace, DoD and IT clients.
DoD projects among others include 5 electronic warfare (EW)
projects. Recent projects have included
system architecture verification testing of multi-bladed PPC/Intel servers in a
high assurance safety environment.

Data Center: Monolith/Modular PowerEdge R720 Server: Integration
and test of Dell Bios, CPLD, RAID and on board embedded Linux based 12G iDRAC7 firmware
consisting of IPMI, Racadm and WS-MAN on an Intel/Windows Server 2003 platform.
Test scripts are developed and deployed according to an Agile development environment
with daily scrum meetings organized into Sprints. In this Agile environment, new test scripts
are developed, integrated and tested using a custom modification of Python
package, CLIP_V3 and an automated test
software package, TestBench. Daily
activities consist of upgrading three servers (code named Orca, Mojo, Madone) with
the latest firmware, executing 26 tranches of tests on three servers
simultaneously, analyzing the test results, determining root cause of failures,
submitting defect reports and managing the correction efforts of test script
authors and firmware developers. In
addition to the daily automated test efforts, single tests and other ad hoc
tests are executed to demonstrate system failures. This effort focuses on
validating the power management and license management features of the PowerEdge
server to be released 3rd quarter, 2011.
