Professional Experience
Spearheaded the effort to get USA Jet Airlines into CASS, the Cockpit Access
Security System.
Wrote most of the required code (ColdFusion); developed and documented the
processes for
managing and auditing the system.
Participated in the System Requirements Specifications for StorageTek's
Central Archive Manager
Synthetic Backup project. Worked on the Architecture team gathering
requirements for running
REELBackup on the new Access Controller
For IBM Global Services' facilities management contract with Lucent
Technologies, wrote software
in support of the storage management function.
- Re-wrote Scratch Tape Allocation User Exits for StorageTek's Host Software Component
for JES2 and JES3. New user
exits eliminated the dependence on software that had been
developed by AT&T and for which support was no longer available.
Consolidated the
two user exits' source code to reduce duplicate maintenance.
- Developed data collection, analysis, and reporting system to monitor DASD pool utilization.
- Created tool to monitor the Net Capacity Load on RAMAC Virtual Array DASD,
providing warning messages to prevent critical situations.
Previously, was a principal engineer in the development of
StorageTek's Host Software
Component for the robotic Automated Cartridge Library. Was an integral part of
the HSC
Release 2.0.0 team from initial design through General Availability.
- Re-designed and re-wrote the part of the Host Software Component which keeps track
of scratch tape counts and
thresholds. Fixed several outstanding customer problems,
while enabling the future development of the low-scratch threshold warning
command.
- Developed a common error-handling routine for the Cartridge Access Port component,
eliminating the need for each
program to have its own. In addition to the normal dump
and clean-up functions, the routine provides diagnostic messages to expedite
problem
resolution.
- Designed and implemented a sophisticated disk storage monitor/manager package -
STORMON - which optimized the use of DASD at MCI.
- Designed a network traffic analysis system that withstood five years of phenomenal
network growth and a ten-fold
traffic increase. Besides its primary function, the
system identified an RBOC over-billing problem, resulting in a credit of $4
million to MCI.
- Supervised Customer Support operation; wrote and edited Large System User's Guide.
- Customized IBM's Info/Management product to serve six different problem management
functions, qualifying MCI for a significant maintenance discount.
