PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Quantum Corporation (formerly Pancetera Software) – San Jose, CA 6/10 – Present
Senior Software Engineer 11/13 – Present
Software Engineer 6/10 – 11/13
Develop and maintain cutting-edge backup software for VMware virtual machine environments
(Quantum vmPRO, formerly Pancetera Unite). Design and implement features to improve
product performance and usability as a part of a small engineering team. Diagnose issues and
debug code, collaborating with quality assurance and support to ensure product excellence.
Selected Projects:
 Created a variety RESTful hypermedia APIs with Python for handling user configuration,
communication between different components in the system, and running tasks (e.g.,
starting a VM backup).
 Made significant contributions to the vmPRO GUI (Apache Flex).
 Implemented a plug-in architecture for the web services component of a new product,
which helps to prevent conflicts as several programmers are working in parallel.
 Replaced a polling model with event-driven communication to VMware servers using the
vSphere API; this drastically improved product responsiveness to changes on the
hypervisor and reduced server load.
 Added support for application consistent backups on Windows VMs using a custom VSS
implementation. Created a small program for driving this process from our product by
executing remote commands on the virtual machine using the VMware VIX API.
 Improved scalability by implementing a method for selecting a subset of large
environments for the product to manage.
 Collaborated with other engineers to implement various features including Changed Block
Tracking support, communication between multiple vmPRO instances, VM registration
after successful recoveries, and adding progress information to backup tasks.
