EXPERIENCE
Hewlett-Packard, Fort Collins, CO 2/1995-present
Software Design Engineer, StoreVirtual SAN Solutions 9/2011-present
 Maintained and enhanced existing components of the management subsystem
of HP StoreVirtual storage virtualization solution.
 Developed C++ components for a new REST based management API for the
StoreVirtual system.
 Developed C++ components to allow current product to work with Microsoft’s
System Center Virtual Machine Manager using a SMIS/CIM based API.
 Set up an an extensive unit testing framework for the C++ components
described above, using multiple technologies. These technologies included
googletest and googlemock for writing the tests, gcov for performing coverage
analysis, and valgrind for checking memory errors. The testing was automated
using the Jenkins continuous integration platform.
 Developed some JavaScript/HTML5 components for a new web-based
management GUI for the StoreVirtual system which interacted with the REST
API on the back end.
 Developed Java based automated functional tests for new GUI described
above. These tests were written for the TestNG unit testing framework and
used the Selenium WebDriver web automation library.
Software Design Engineer, Command View TL GUI 4/2010-9/2011
 Technical lead for a globally distributed team that developed a new, Adobe
Flash Player based version of web GUI for existing Command View TL product.
 Developed very loosely coupled, highly testable application architecture in
Adobe Flex 4, which was built on top of the open source Parsley framework.
This in turn enabled team to use a test-driven development approach from the
project beginning.
 Developed a continuous integration solution based on the Jenkins open source
tool that performed unit testing (using FlexUnit) and coverage analysis for the
new GUI software, and also performed nightly building and packaging of
product.
Software Design Engineer, Extended Tape Library Architecture 4/2004-3/2010
 Designed and implemented several multithreaded components of a new generation of HP’s
enterprise tape library firmware. The design phase involved extensive use of UML diagramming

persistence, and gSOAP for communication with our Java-based front end GUI.
 Helped maintain and enhance existing firmware used in HP’s enterprise tape libraries.
 Designed and implemented parts of a solution for integrating encryption key management
appliances with HP’s tape libraries.
Software Design Engineer, Data Protection Software 9/2000-4/2004

2.  Wrote software in C++ that understood physical byte layout of data on disk. This software wa s
used by SCSI XCOPY command to copy data directly from one storage device to another, without
involving operating system.
 Designed and implemented several portions of a large, multi-tier tape media management and
tracking system. This included pieces of IPC plumbing written in C++ and Java, as well as parts
of the user interface, written in a proprietary 4GL.
Software Design Engineer, Parts Catalog Publishing System 2/1995-9/2000
