NetEffect Semiconductor 
Austin, TX
May 2006 - Present 
Sr. Software Engineer (Contract)

Languages: C/C++, Tcl/Tk. X86 Assembly
Operating Systems: Linux
Middleware: iWARP Verbs
GUI Frameworks Gtk+, Qt, Fltk

Responsible for the development of new functionality for the Linux driver and API libraries for NetEffect’s new NE010 iWARP 10 Gigabit Ethernet channel adapter for X86 architechtures. Work included:

• Development of a Fast BSD Sockets wrapper library, providing a BSD sockets like interface on top of a lightweight User Level Protocol (ULP) on top of NetEffect’s implementation of the iWARP extensions to the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol specification.

• Testing of current popular benchmarking tools used by the High Performance Computing (HPC) community against the aforementioned library.

• Development of new benchmarking toolset to better show off the card’s performance as the previous tools were inadequate for measuring the real performance of the driver library.
• Development work for the OpenFabrics compliant driver to provide Sockets Direct Protocol support for the new adapter.

• Development of a secured index lookup engine for Tick Data's tick-by-tick equities database.  This provides the ability to supply a securities symbol for a given equity offering and a date range and be able to immediately find the currently surviving company, even if the security is no longer trading under that symbol.  It also provided similar lookups for CUSIP identifiers.
• Development of an e-commerce site with hooks to allow Tick Data's proprietary application, TickWrite, the ability to download daily updates and new data orders via the same site.  This site used JSP, Spring, and iBatis to accomplish the tasks in question in a timely manner.
• Initial design work for the re-design of the infrastructure systems that are used to provide real-time data direct from the securities markets as the trades occur.  This includes design work to allow the system to be effectively and efficiently clustered across multiple servers.  Initial re-work used the ACE and TAO network libraries as a base for the object design.
• Development work to make the stock ticker plant code base fully and completely ANSI C++ compliant
• Development work to make the stock ticker plant code 64-bit clean in the event that the code is migrated from 32-bit x86 architechture machines to AMD64/EM64T (Athlon64/Opteron) based machines.
• Development work to make the text mode, command line interface diagnostic and control tools for the stock ticker plant into GUI based tools using FLTK and Tk as the base GUI libraries.  Code was migrated from a strictly Unix-only code base to a cross-platform one, with Linux and Windows XP as the intended targets.
  

• Development of the new OS and distribution core for the 3.X releases of Coollinux.
• Development of the new OS and distribution core for the 4.0 release of Coollinux.
• Development of the picture-in-picture functionality offered in the 3.0 release of Coollinux.
• Development of accelerated video and for the framegrabber cards used for Coollinux' picture-in-picture support.
• Development of accelerated video and for the framegrabber cards used for Coollinux' picture-in-picture support.
• Development of custom features such as providing PDF viewer support for set-top boxes.
• Development of an automated meter reading (AMR) application for the power industry.\
• Development of Liunx device drivers for electric power meters for the AMR application.
• Development of the communications framework to support the AMR application.
• Development of device drivers for an OSGI compliant services gateway for purposes of AMR and smart home applications.

• Development of a new caching engine using none of the NLANR squid cache engine code base.
• Development of a scheme to accommodate partial content caching for ranged requests placed to the origin World Wide Web servers.
• Development of a new store object indexing scheme within the NLANR squid cache engine based off of self-balancing AVL trees instead of the hash map that is currently used.
• Development of a scheme to cache content that is authenticated through HTTP 1.0 basic authentication.
• Development of a library to determine the number of connections currently in progress to a given server or group of servers, intended to assist in cache coherency and flow management of requests going to origin World Wide Web servers from the epicRealm data center cache racks.

• The development of a simple universal thunking layer designed to allow Win32 code to correctly run under all Win32 API layers, including Win32s, while only using one source tree for all the code for the application using it.
• Development of a set of ActiveX components to expose the functionality of the Pixel Translations, ISIS image scanning, file, display, and print libraries.
• Development of a base object system, signaling model, and initial components for their 4.0 version of their ImageBASIC ActiveX component line.
• The development of the RPC system initially used in their Tempest document server system.
• The development of the Tempest TIFF image accelerator server and client subsystems.

• Development of UI toolkits extending the functionality of Borland's Object Windows Library (OWL.)
• Development of a Windows sound driver intended to work with voice modems that did not provide integral sound support. Work used serial port only interaction with the modems to provide record and playback as needed by the Windows TAPI specification at that time.
• Development of a Delphi based registry configuration tool to assist in configuring the printer port settings to help avoid printing pass-thru problems with a parallel port based TAPI phone, called PC-Phone.
