Summary
Extensive experience in IT and programming and good practical ability to apply that experience to real-world problems. Have on several occasions successfully suggested and introduced solutions that have made a qualitative difference to the efficiency and reliability of the system in question. Capable of thinking outside the box and showing initiative. Good ability to see the big picture as well as the details of the immediate task.
Quick learner, capable of rapidly coming up to speed on new technologies. Have a good understanding of logistics, process and technology. Have experience working in small teams where being a jack of all trades is pretty much required and learning new technologies is almost an everyday constant.
Operating Systems: Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, MS Windows, MS DOS, Apollo Aegis, VMS
Programming Languages: C/C++, Pascal, PERL, Ruby, JAVA, UNIX (C-Shell, Bourne, Korn), Tcl/Tk, PHP, Lisp/Scheme
Tools: Netbeans, Eclipse, TogetherJ, Emacs, MS Office, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, FrameMaker, VI
Technologies: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SYBASE, Xen, VirtualBox, OpenVPN, Oracle RDBMS, CVS, SVN, ClearCase, DSEE, NFS, NIS, LDAP, DHCP, Webmin, TCP/IP, routers/firewalls, etc.
Hardware: IBM-compatible PC, HP, SUN, Mac
During my over 5 year tenure have played a pivotal role in the lab's transition to a enterprise-level configuration featuring MooseFS-based distributed file storage, functionally segmented network architecture, Subversion-based code control, Bugzilla-based bug tracking, etc.Have a track record of setting up systems and services that sometimes ran for over two years with no downtime.
Beyond officially delineated responsibilities maintain my own privately-run VPN solution to provide connectivity to the lab's employees and collaborators outside the lab. Due to the distributed nature of the lab's activities this is a function critical to the lab's success.
The system was in essence a large transportation management system receiving and reflecting frequent (mostly once-a-minute) updates regarding the status of flights operating over the US airspace. Near realtime requirements were in place for processing and analyzing data which made for an exciting and challenging task.
Main tasks included web site backend implementation for clients, in-house product design and implementation as well as day-to-day activities mentioned above. Most of the coding was done using object-oriented technology, with JAVA as a programming language of choice.
Provided critical insight which allowed to greatly improve stability and efficiency of the internal systems.
Clients included Davox Corporation (now part of Aspect Software), Pilates Store, Lobsters-Online, Inc. and others.

Timeline
May 2007 - present
Cambridge, MA
Work as something akin to a one-person IT department for a small cutting-edge research lab. Support communication and integration needs between the lab and various collaborators. Plan and implement the lab's hardware and software infrastructure while at the same time provide everyday support to lab's users. Participate in coding lab's internal utilities as well as the publicly available OpenMIMS Analysis Module. Integrate various software and hardware systems for the lab's needs. When necessary fulfill general office management duties such as scheduling meetings, placing orders, etc.During my over 5 year tenure have played a pivotal role in the lab's transition to a enterprise-level configuration featuring MooseFS-based distributed file storage, functionally segmented network architecture, Subversion-based code control, Bugzilla-based bug tracking, etc.Have a track record of setting up systems and services that sometimes ran for over two years with no downtime.

April 2004 - May 2007
Travel. Educational activities. Occasional freelance projects.Provided technical assistance to several online projects including Cooperative Research and New England JAVA Users Group.In 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina helped coordinate volunteer relief activities in the Gulf and personally participated in those activities.
July 2001 - April 2004
Waltham, MA
Worked as a programmer involved in development and support of the ETMS air traffic management software for the FAA at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, MA. Specific area of concentration was the CDMcomponent of the ETMS. The tasks included design and development of new functionality, as well as supporting legacy code. A large codebase together with the need for system reliability provide for a challenging task. The code was originally written in Pascal and later migrated to C.The system was in essence a large transportation management system receiving and reflecting frequent (mostly once-a-minute) updates regarding the status of flights operating over the US airspace. Near realtime requirements were in place for processing and analyzing data which made for an exciting and challenging task.
December 1999 - April 2001
Boston, MA
Performed multiple roles on a daily basis, including those of a senior system designer and developer, Windows NT and UNIX system administrator and web hosting support engineer. Key player in the technology planning and implementation area. As a sole expertise in a number of areas, including object-oriented design and development, networking, network security and systems management, advised other team members on various technology issues.Main tasks included web site backend implementation for clients, in-house product design and implementation as well as day-to-day activities mentioned above. Most of the coding was done using object-oriented technology, with JAVA as a programming language of choice.
