PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Consultant to TRW on a multi-proposal effort for the Ministry of Post & Telegraph of the Peoples Republic of China - National Integrated Postal Computer Network Project. Proposal effort was performed in Beijing, China. Areas of contributions included network architecture, network management system, network services (web servers, security/gateways/firewalls, intranet, Internet) and technology transfer methodology.

Perform telecommunications engineering for the Infrastructure Design, Data Communications Group, in support of the TRW/IRS Integration Support Contract (ISC). Evaluation of emerging technologies, prototype development of commercial products, and business process reengineering/improvement.

Network planning and design of the renovated backbone access for the following Pentagon tenants: (i) The Joint Staff's Studies, Analysis, and Gaming Division gaming and conference facilities. (ii) The Joint Staff's technical services area. (iii) BUSINESS ADP - consolidation of the data processing centers of the Army, Navy and Air Force agencies.

Co-author of the overall Pentagon Renovation Backbone Telecommunications Architecture for the 12-year renovation program. The Pentagon networks covered the full range of shared and switched Ethernet/FDDI/Fast Ethernet LANs; router-based backbones and WAN connectivity; ATM-based backbones and WAN connectivity; SONET transport connectivity via ADMs; video- and teleconferencing, and ATM connectivity to the desktop. The security classifications included Unclassified Sensitive, Secret, Top Secret, SCI and SIOP requirements. The classified and unclassified services supported by the backbone architecture included Voice, LAN data, Point-to-Point data, Video, and CATV services. Developed an Equipment Selection Matrix to provide decision criteria for the selection of backbone Frame and Cell switches.

Wrote Architecture and Logical Design document for the Renovated Pentagon Backbone. Issues discussed: (i) Architectural Planning (address space subnetting, OSPF routing areas, ATM address format, VLAN definitions and assignments). (ii) Network Protocols. (iii) Network Services. (iv) Operating Systems.

Network design, implementation, configuration and troubleshooting on both fixed and deployed platforms for the US Army. The design's mission provides logistics support during both peacetime and wartime and is currently installed at four locations. Wrote operator's manual, configuration guide and provided user training for communications subsystem.

Rapid prototyped a DRAM controller chip for an IBM RS/6K 32-bit processor. The prototype was implemented in the Xilinx XC4010 FPGA technology. The prototype design provided a cost effective platform to launch future bids for alternative applications, including migration to the PowerPC architecture. The final design was launched in the Mars PATHFINDER Environmental Space Probe (7/97).

Project leader for the full life cycle design and development of a dual port 10BASE5 & 10BASE2 network adapter card for an IBM commercial product. The card combined IBM commercial ASICs with AMD Ethernet chipsets. Product involved FDDI, Token Ring and Ethernet Translation Bridging, Ethernet Transparent Bridging and Token Ring Source Routing. Developed testbed and test methodology, which included designing the network platform for system test and evaluation. Wrote card user's guide and description workbook. Member of debug team of INTEL 960KB embedded processor basecard with interchangeable T1 and Ethernet daughter cards. Network interface cards were designed for the IBM RS/6K workstations for the National Science Foundation.

Designed, installed and tested site-specific relational database to provide guidance, traffic control and collision avoidance for an automated warehousing system. Network was installed at five Air Logistics Centers for the Air Force. Warehouse vehicles were MC68000 controlled. Site verified AWS data communications systems. Programmed graphics software for both the RAAF and USAF F/A-18 flight trainers.

Redesigned real-time airborne signal recognizer system using PLDs, 8086 and discrete - VLSI components. Prepared PCBs for automatic insertion. Multiprocessor signal recognizer for DOD expanded on earlier system design. Performed systems integration and implementation of a real-time narrowband remoting simulator. Simulator platform - Data General Eclipse S/140 computer. Prepared the simulator's manual and test plan. Conducted customer training.

Provided feasibility study of the Secure Voice and Graphics Conferencing System for the DOD. Performed requirements analysis of the Defense Communication System for the DOD. Analyzed MIL-STD specifications for a Submarine Sensor Interface Unit for the Navy. Contributed to a handbook on short-range modems.
