I'm currently back at Juniper Networks in a mixed role working on MX and M-Series in a engineering role. Specifically, I'm working on managing the Dev-test, automation, and SVN integration efforts for MX, M, and BRAS features. A complex but *very* talented group across both Sunnyvale,CA and in India. Prior to that, I was managing the technical marketing engineering (TME) group for the swiss-army knife product that is the Branch SRX product line with brilliant engineers across the globe.
Prior, I worked for Zvents.com as the Director of Operations. That group was responsible for keeping the production and corporate networks humming along. Zvents was one the top-ten largest Ruby on Rails shops on the Internet running large Linux farms. Other technologies we run is Lucene, Solr, Hypertable, MySQL, Memcache, etc. You name it, they were running it!
My previous employer was Juniper Networks in
Sunnyvale, CA. At Juniper, I worked in several positions: ran the Platform Engineering
labs for Security Products and the "Proof of Concept" lab. Both positions involved testing
of features, performance and interoperability with other vendors using technologies like
MPLS, BGP, ISIS, CoS, etc. for our clients.
I specialize in Linux, core and edge networking tecnologies and system security. At the core of networking, its BGP, ISIS, OSPF, MPLS, ATM, OC-48+, etc. In security, it's Linux, Windows, and a bit of FreeBSD and Solaris. I also work with single / multiple factor authentication servers (SecurID, Defender, etc). Finally, I used to dabble in building PCs for my consulting business, Trinity Designs.
I graduated in Computer Engineering at California State University, Chico in the spring of 1996.
