Description

I am a technologist specializing in large-scale computing and networking systems. My career in the computing and communications industry spans more than two decades. I began my post-graduate career starting with individual research contributions in computational science and engineering (for semiconductor and circuit simulation, Raman optical amplifiers, convective fluid flow, …) and computer systems. I helped create and guide the development of numerous distributed systems, IP security projects, and applications of modeling and formal verification methods as well as converged (voice/data) network software, access, and switching products. More recently, I have contributed to large-scale Web service systems and products as well as client software. At Bell Labs , first as part of AT&T and then Lucent Technologies , my career began in the Computing Sciences Research Center as a Member of Technical Staff, then Director of the Scientific Computing Research Department within the Center, and then as VP of the Center itself – the Center was the birthplace of the C and C++ programming languages as well as the UNIX
