PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Systems Programmer − INTEL CORPORATION 2012 – 7/2015
• Standardized the internally developed 'netbatch' Infrastructure that runs software jobs submitted by design
engineers into pools that totaled 100,000+ Unix servers for CPU design groups as a member of Intel’s global
team; this standardization created a consistent view to end users, and automated and simplified support of
the pools.
• Designed new tools to automate and create the netbatch configurations based upon the global standard
and a database of server characteristics that was used for all of the standard netbatch servers at Intel and
replaced an error-prone manual process that could never be up to date.
o Built in enough flexibility to ease transition to the standard, and also allowed use for netbatch pools
that were not part of the CPU design groups.
• Developed software tools to help merge and audit diverse netbatch configurations at 15+ sites all over the
world into one standard configuration and developed testing methodologies to identify and resolve
problems prior to deploying new versions.
o Drove acceptance and understanding of the standard configuration for the local sites by overseeing
the merge, audit and testing of the capacity tools to ensure quality.
• Mentored several new hires in Perl programming, providing code reviews and advice on writing secure,
manageable, and testable code.

• Led a team of four on Unix NFS disk storage, backup/restore operations and printer/plotter services for CPU
design projects in Oregon through 2003; transitioned into a development focused role in 2003 to design
software for server performance and automation.
Systems Programmer (Continued)
• Managed Unix NFS disk storage servers at Intel Oregon’s CPU design group during a time of rapid growth of
disk space needs, approximately doubling every year; forecasted disk space needs and purchased new
space when required to ensure that disk space was available when it was needed to avoid delaying CPU
design projects while keeping costs down.
• Spearheaded an initiative to find stale project data on disk that could be reclaimed without requiring
project owners to do the weeks-long manual work to find it, resulting in significant cost savings.
o Created a tool and process that could query the servers directly with raw NFS calls that is able to do
the scans fast enough that it can run every day; this tool was adopted by the Intel global storage
team and is still being utilized to scan all NFS disk space in Intel.
o Made the data from the above tool available to project owners so they could reclaim their space
before requesting new space, which allowed Intel to delay purchasing new servers until needed.
• Developed tools that are still being used in the production computing environment to move NFS work areas
and home directories from one storage server to another with minimal interaction from administrators and
end-users.
o The above tool has been used to move data off of servers that are at end of life; thousands of data
moves have been done with zero issues and no needed involvement of storage team members.
• Worked with the Intel global storage team to develop disk storage server plugins so that common tasks
could be automated regardless of the storage vendor.
PRIOR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Network Engineer − INTEL CORPORATION
• Oversaw computer network design and operation at a local site for the CPU design group and hired and
managed one engineer.
• Influenced and advocated the use of router networks using TCP/IP; pioneered and executed the network
design that is largely still being utilized at Intel.
• Developed a new network tool to analyze traffic patterns and redesigned the network to ensure network
availability and increased bandwidth to support business demands.
• Managed purchasing, upgrades and installation for physical network infrastructure, including the
conversion from coaxial wire to twisted pair.

• Review geocache submissions by diverse users of the website, geocaching.com, to ensure compliance with
publication guidelines and land manager policies including commercial content, and security issues.
• Work with submitters using email to educate on guidelines and policies, and request needed changes to
their submissions.
• Collaborate with the Portland Parks and Recreation department (Oregon) on developing a geocaching policy
to ensure that their park rules are followed while working to eliminate strict restrictions on geocachers.
