Primarily this is supporting building, testing and debugging of C, C++, and Fortran code that goes into Cadences product suites, but it also includes all the details of build environment and systems administration that come up along the way. Furthermore, I have been charged with building the HP@Cadence (internal) website, and in what time I have left I've been porting public software (such as tcpdump) to HP-UX 11.00. Jan 99 - Aug 99 Client: Etak, Menlo Park, California My primary responsibilities were developing tools (mostly Bourne or perl scripts) to automate sysadmin procedures, as well as more traditional sysadmin functions such as maintenance of sendmail, dns, nis, firewall, patch levels, network infrastructure, user environment, methodology documentation, etc. The environment included SunOS, Solaris, Linux, and one Auspex file server. Sep 97 - Dec 98 Client: SGI, Mountain View California I provided back line technical support for communications issues. This was primarily troubleshooting network and NFS code and communications at all levels, from application interface and configuration to physical layer protocols. I was responsible for designing reproducible test cases to isolate bugs for engineering, where possible locating errors in source code, insuring conformance with RFCs and other standards, determining responsibility for multi-vendor interoperability issues, and of course, interacting with customers. Jul 95 - Aug 97 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California I was senior sysadmin for the secondary devices division, supporting ~90 users equally divided between code developers and designers. The environment was mostly IRIX, with a sprinkling of SunOS, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Linux. My responsibilities were pretty much the standard sysadmin stuff with a heightened emphasis on security. For instance, while there, I developed the Livermore secure use policy for Network Appliance file servers. I also did a lot of work with tcpwrappers and ssh. Jul 90 - Aug 95 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California Primarily I performed research related to my Ph.D. thesis (which I did not complete). This mostly involved work in the area of magnetic design theory, but also included writing FORTRAN and C finite element and finite difference codes to test certain designs. I was also doing part time sysadmin for the UC Davis dept. of engineering branch located at LLNL. Jan 82 - Jan 86 United States Air Force As an Inertial Navigation Systems Technician, I performed both field level and component level maintenance on inertial navigation and bomb guidance systems on F4E/G fighter aircraft. Education MS Engineering - Applied Science, University of California, Davis, 1992 BS Physics, University of California, Riverside, 1990 Other I have held (though no longer) both DoD Top Secret, and DoE Q level security clearances.
