Developed applications used throughout GE and elsewhere. * Extensive networking experience with local and wide area networks, PC and Mac networking, servers, wiring and hardware specification and selection, and all other aspects of the subject from having been involved in the networking of both RCA and GE Corporations and total responsibility for the wiring of groups I was in. * An innovator in security technology. Supported security maintenance within GE internal networks (7000+ node DECnet; growing TCP/IP network). Developed, distributed, and maintained security tools on VMS, Unix, and PC platforms.

D., Physics UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 1974 M.S., Physics UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 1969 Bachelor of Arts (double major: Physics, honors, and Philosophy) WILLIAMS COLLEGE; Magna Cum Laude; Phi Beta Kappa 1968 ________________________________________________ EXPERIENCE: Principal Software Engineer Digital Equipment Corp. 4/1995-present Produced new architecture document for VMS SCSI (now in early implementation stages). Served as SCSI group acting leader for a few months. Made several DKdriver enhancements to allow it to support optical and other disks more easily. Wrote an automatic archival storage compression system which will be distributed via freeware CD. Developed a security access monitor implementing Windows NT security semantics on VMS filesystems. Designed and developed code for multipath switching with various server types to handle direct and served path cases, and to enable consistent handling and failover of cluster situations where multiple path controllers and served paths exist. Designed support for new device naming constructs which will replace existing naming for SCSI devices. Corrected many bugs in the SCSI code base. Proposed a system to meld multiple filestructures to simplify system management and to take advantage of more efficient directory handling of Spiralog and provided the basic design outline, how to implement it, and performance characteristics to the Digital filesystems group. Systems, Networking, and Security Consultant 1993-1995 General Cybernetic Engineering Concord, Pa. Highlights: * Developed robotics control software for disks to make them transparently available as though all were simultaneously online. * Proposed, designed and developed the SQUASH compressing virtual disk system. * Developed extended security access monitor and a comprehensive file undeletion facility, transparent storage migration software, and fragmentation inhibitor software (with significantly better performance and many extensions over earlier work, which was left behind.) Produced documentation and configuration scripts so these can be standalone products. (Introduction is pending, tentatively scheduled for before the end of calendar 1994.) The security system adds many capabilities to earlier work including file passwords, control of special utility permissions, instant user notification of problems, and more. The undelete and HSM systems are complete, product quality implementations useful in day to day operations of computing centers. The security package in particular breaks new ground in protecting files against tampering or unauthorized access, providing an enhanced security model which reduces risks to sensitive data due to mistaken or malicious access, even where the attack is done with privileges. Because these packages become part of the file system, they cannot be circumvented with simple commands or via disabling separate security facilities within VMS, and they can prevent, rather than only react to, tampering. * Designed automatic file shelving/unshelving facilty for Unix; implementation proceeding. * Designed innovative caching system for disks of widely varying access characteristics. * Designed and developed complete file structure support for Write Once Read Many (WORM)) devices. * Developed new SCSI disk class driver for optical disks on VMS (VAX, AXP). * Designed a unique cache system suited to situations where devices of different I/O rates exist on a machine, to basically make the slow devices appear as fast as the fast ones. * Designed initial versions of a Novell remote backup server to provide remote magtape access to Novell nets. * Designed Unix filesystem to read non-unix file structures (e.g. VMS) and "incompatible" Unix structures (e.g. Solaris on OSF/1). Implementation is now complete. Transport is (initially) TCP/IP. An OSF DSF implementation may follow. Remote tape access is also being added. * Implemented remote disks hosted on OSF/1 and user NFS server as basis for filestructure access routines and Unix HSM package, under constuction. Transport using TCP/IP used, though DECnet transport may be added. * Provided assistance to local school officials in maintaining their Solaris based mail system in addition to regular system administration of 2 Unix and 2 VMS platforms at the office. Chief Software Architect 1992 - 1993 RAXCO, Inc. Rockville, Md. (Supervisor: Bob Nolan) Highlights: * Designed and implemented complete Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) software system for VMS, striping and striping/journalling drivers, part of a file undeletion facility, and several other software devices for use in products. (These runs on both VAX and AXP platforms.) Also implemented softlinks on VMS, transparent compression and decompression and space management, and software write-once disks (to secure journal files from privileged tampering). * Produced revision of KBlock product. Included was X terminal support, at my suggestion and by my design. * Specified designs for several other products to be constructed by others to do remote file sharing and for tape management systems. * Served as design checkpoint for much of the company's new system level code and provided instruction for more junior people as needed, plus examples of how to solve technical problems and assistance with knotty problems. * Produced and gave internals tutorials at DECUS symposium. * Designed terminal intercept technology to be used for Unix versions of several security products and conducted investigations of techniques needed to implement additonal unix based security controls. * Designed and implemented extended security facility for VMS. This facility is designed to ensure file access controls may be effieicntly managed in a large organization, provide integrity assurances for data, and prevent abuse of privilege.
