  • Created dozens of ecommerce, bartering, catalog and other interactive sites using PHP/JavaScript/C/Perl/MySQL and other tools.
  • Created robots to do market research using the Internet.
  • Developed portions of the Sun Netra-i product.
  • Provide Internet access for companies and users.
  • Completely maintain Internet domain, including sendmail configuration, routing, news, nntp, PPP, slip, TCP/IP, richtext, metamail, MIME, elm, PGP, DNS, hypertext-sever and home pages (httpd), gopher, wais, ntp, and SOCKS (this is interesting because it was in 1993).
  • Designed and implemented a protocol to reliably move billing records from switch to central location. Implemented it using streams modules in SVR4.0 and SVR4.2 UNIX systems, for GTE subsidy A.G. Communications.
  • Ported PPP to SVR4.0 and SVR4.2 for GTE subsidy A.G. Communications.
  • Wrote a Microport device driver for the IBM 4216 Personal Pageprinter. Negotiated to sell it to Image Network and customers referred by IBM Customer Support. Ported it to SVR4.
  • Ported vuser to Sun. Supported vuser for over 400 Hewlett-Packard internal users all over the world.
  • Enhanced vuser to use yacc and have full programming language capabilities, including functions, variables, and control flow logic.
  • Ported Don Steiny programs, AIM Resource Accounting and AIM Job Accounting to numerous systems. Part of the program examines the file systems directly and it required extensive knowledge of file system internals on many UNIX systems.
  • Wrote AIM Resource Accounting. It is a modified version of AIM Job Accounting that allows users to charge resource use to a specific project (cost account) for charge back. Designed CATS computer automated testing system for Hewlett-Packard.
  • Wrote vuser virtual user utility for Hewlett-Packard. It is a data communication, user, modem, and user modeling programming language that is used throughout HP. The revolutionary utility was the subject of a feature article in the April 1988 issue of the prestigious technical magazine the HP Journal. After this article, came back to HP, surveyed the users of the program and rewrote the program with a complete phrase-structure based parser).
  • Did system testing at Hewlett-Packard of HP-UX on HP-PA.
  • Wrote AIM Resource Accounting, a program that allows system administrators to charge users for resources use by account and time of day. The program was (is?) used by NASA, TRW, Lockheed, Fujutisu, the Bureau of Land Management, the General Services Administration, the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, AT&T, and many other major corporations and government agencies. It is used by major universities including Harvard, University of Illinois, University of California, University of Kuwait, and many more.
  • QA on UNIX on Tolerant System's port to the NS 16032.
  • Designed the object file format for the System V port to the 80286 for Digital Research, Inc. The object file format was evaluated and accepted by Bell Laboratories and Intel. Ported the UNIX assembler for Vax to the Intel 802086 for Digital Research, Inc. The assembler port was evaluated and accepted by Bell Laboratories and Intel.
  • QA'ed and evaluated a System III port to the IBM PC/XT for International Data Systems.
  • Interfaced screen forms to Perkin-Elmer's Reliance database on OS/32 for Peter Kiewit (in Fortran).
  • Modified English language interface for Digital Equipment Corp.
  • Designed and implemented an English-language parsing program with Dr. John Grinder.
  • Ported an 8085 program to Eunice that sends blocks of data with NAK/ACK protocol (X-Modem) for Equatorial Communications.
  • Wrote a general CRC coding function in C and distributed it to USENET.
  • QA on Genix for National Semiconductor.
  • QA on Xenix on the Intel 86/330 and Intel 286/330 for Microsoft and Intel.
  • Designed and implemented automated validation suites for C and the UNIX system calls and library routines. This work was put into a package that is being sold as a UNIX validation by Perinneal Software.
  • Designed a machine independent test suite for floating point. Implemented a machine dependent floating point test suite under the direction of Dr. Phil Fallace, a designer of the 8087 chip and a member of the IEEE standards committee for floating point.
  • Designed and implemented test suites for a grap
