12/05­ pres Research Project Manager and Senior Systems Engineer
California Institute for Telecommunication and Information Technology, UCSD, La Jolla, CA
Responsible for all systems engineering and systems management aspects of various large scale
research projects and externally funded research activities in Calit2. This is a hands­on position that
includes direct support and deployment of clusters, storage resources, and network infrastructure: this
includes
● deployment of high performance computational and visualization clusters
● deployment of development of storage server and data transfer nodes; CentOS 6.7 and 7.2 with
ZFSonLinux
● network management and infrastructure deployment of a 40Gb/s network (these reside within
the larger PRISM network).consisting of full 10Gb support
Many of the projects require research level collaboration with a variety of national and international
partners, including: UCSD, UCI, SDSU, USC/ISI, NU (Northwestern University), UIC EVL
(University of Illinois at Chicago), University of Amsterdam and USGS Organization. Computational
clusters were deployed using ROCKS (www.rocksclusters.org).
6/01 ­ 12/05 Manager (Computer Resource Manager II)
Chemistry and Biochemistry Computing Facility, UCSD, La Jolla, CA
● Provide complete systems management and engineering support
● Responsible for program management of facility software and hardware deployments.
● Responsible for fiscal management of the facility.
This facility provided support to a number of research groups at UCSD, with the total client base
exceeding 1000 users. This includes building and maintaining the servers and infrastructure for
environments of varying complexity. Operating systems supported include; Solaris, Irix, Linux
(primarily CentOS), and Windows. Aside from direct support to the independent research groups, the
facility also provided centralized services, including mail services (Sendmail and Exchange), DNS,
security (intrusion detection and firewalls), support of computational and biochemical software
(MSI­Insight II, Matlab, Maple, Mathematica), and development environments. The data serving
environment was Sybase (ASE) on Solaris. This facility also supported a number of Linux clusters
using ROCKS (www.rocksclusters.org).
8/00 ­ 6/01 Systems Manager
Intuit, San Diego
Responsible for the set up and management of highly reliable data center applications, providing
99.9% product availability.
Manage hardware and software operations team in meeting schedule commitments, company goals,
and customer Service Level Agreements.
Provided systems management and engineering support for internet business products. Managed two
teams of engineers dedicated to these projects. This included building and maintaining the servers and
infrastructure for development and production environments. These products are live and must be
available twenty­four hours every day. The primary OS for the application and web serving aspect was
Solaris on Sun hardware. The data servers were of two flavors; Oracle on Sun and Oracle on Tru64
(Compaq­Alpha). The data servers were fully clustered, highly available resources. External storage is
provided via fiber channel to EMC Symmetrix frames.

2/00 ­ 8/00 Director of Information Services (Programmer/Analyst IV Supervisor)
University of California, San Diego Cancer Center
Complete management of information services at the UCSD Cancer Center. This included full
infrastructure, research computing, and data service support. The focus during this period was to create
a more professional information technology support team. We were successful in achieving this goal in
that late in 2000 the UCSD Cancer Center achieved its comprehensive designation from the NIH.
5/99 ­ 2/00 Senior Systems Engineer [Consultant]
Intuit, San Diego CA; The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA; NACM, San Diego, CA
Duties include oversight of DNS, NIS, sendmail, system monitoring, intranet/internet, firewalls, and
intrusion detection, security, and data storage and disaster recovery. These were primarily Sun
environments, although we supported a wide variety of operating systems, including Irix, Tru64 and
Linux (RHEL).
6/95 ­ 5/99 Senior Systems Engineer/ Manager: Mathematics Computing Support :
Department of Mathematics, UCSD
Administrated all aspects of computing systems and network support for the Department of
Mathematics. This included installation and maintenance of a wide variety of platforms and operating
systems. Operating systems include: Solaris, Digital UNIX, Irix, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows.
Duties include: all user accounts and network security, installation and maintenance of all system and
application software, planning and installation of all network software and hardware, development and
maintenance of department web site, email services (sendmail), development and maintenance of video
distribution system (Mbone and RealVideo), and installation and maintenance of compiler suites.
Department databases were maintained by our group, University specific data was queried from UCSD
central financial databases. The facility oversaw the implementation of new laboratories dedicated to
computational mathematics and in providing faculty and graduate students access to state of the art
computing environments.
11/92 ­ 6/95 Programmer/Analyst , Ocean Engineering Research Group, SIO/UCSD
Developed programs for processing time series data from ocean sensors; these were essentially spectral
analysis routines that provided energy, wave­height, period and direction information for CDIP
(Coastal Data Information Project). Supported application software developed for Coastal Data
Information Program publications and remote user access. Installed and modified software under a
variety of platforms, including: Suns, Macs, and assorted PCs. This position required experience with
graphical and statistical analysis techniques, especially pertaining to time series analysis in both
frequency and time domain. In accordance with the system administrator new revisions of the
operating system, and compilers were installed on Sun systems. The primary operating environment
was Solaris.
9/90 ­ 7/92 Mathematics Instructor , Instructional Center, University of Washington
Taught courses and workshops for the Mathematics Department at the University of Washington.
Workshops covered many undergraduate courses, including: Differential Equations, Calculus,
Complex Variables, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis and Spreadsheet Design.
1/90 ­ 7/91 Programmer/Analyst, Research Assistant , (Contract) University of W., & Boeing
Prepared and reviewed mathematical documentation within technical manuscripts. Prepared and
analyzed data bases and forms for promotions department. Trained new employees on DOS, Windows
