OBJECTIVE

Software Development and Algorithmic Research

EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS

Software Engineer: CodeSourcery, LLC (June 2000-). Design, specify,
  and implement the C++ VSIPL++ toolkit supporting vector, signal, and
  image processing in both serial and distributed environments.
  Complete USAF OSD Phase 1 SBIR to implement VSIPL++ extensions to
  support multiple processors and SIMD instructions. Write Advanced
  Linux Programming and POOMA user manual. Specify and develop QMTest
  test regression tool. Write run-time C++ library.Optimize financial
  programs. Perform patent law work. Compiler development including
  writing C++ ABI test library, optimization work, bug fixes.

Assistant Professor: Trinity University Computer Science Department
  (August 1999-May 2000). Teach courses in introductory programming
  (two semesters), operating systems, and simulation. With 44
  students, design and implement sales tax server prototype. With 12
  students, develop models and simulate investment accumulation and
  contraction.

Visiting Assistant Professor: Dartmouth College Computer Science
  Department (Spring 1999). Taught advanced algorithms.

AT&T Labs Researcher: AT&T Research Labs (Summer 1998). The HTTP 1.1
  protocol permits persistent connections between servers and
  clients. Design and evaluate policies to predict when to terminate
  persistent server-client connections.

Stanford University Ph.D. Candidate: Computer Science Department
  (September 1992-August 1999). Design theoretically-fast algorithms
  for multicommodity and generalized flow problems; multicommodity
  flow implementation was several orders of magnitude faster than
  previous implementations. Design and experimentally evaluate faster
  algorithms to value Asian options. Implement DNA sequence alignment
  algorithm, used in MIS 214 course. Instructor for compiler course
  and programming languages courses. Teaching assistant for intensive
  C++ and compiler optimization courses.

RECENT SOFTWARE, SPECIFICATIONS, AND PUBLICATIONS

VSIPL++: Specify and implement the C++ Vector, Signal, and Image
  Processing Library for use in both serial and distributed
  environments using intuitive, algorithmic syntax. Write 250+ page
  specification incorporating the best current software research. Work
  funded by the Department of Defense High Performance Embedded
  Computing Software Initiative coordinated through MIT Lincoln
  Laboratory (http://www.hpec-si.org/).

Multicommodity Flow: Combinatorial approximation program was faster
  than its closest competitor by several orders of magnitude.

Advanced Linux Programming: Book describing UNIX and Linux-specific
  library programming interfaces. Joint work with Mark Mitchell and
  Alex Samuel.

POOMA: Develop and maintain open-source C++ software toolkit for
  parallel scientific computation. Users include nuclear weapon
  physicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

EDUCATION

Ph.D. in Computer Science: Stanford University, August 1999. Thesis
  title: "Multicommodity and Generalized Flows: Theory and Practice."
  Development and implementation of algorithms to solve multicommodity
  and generalized flow problems. In the first half, I converted
  theoretically fast but, in practice, slow algorithms into an
  algorithm that was several orders of magnitude faster than its
  closest competition. In the second half, I developed the first
  combinatorial algorithms to solve many generalized flow problems.

M.S. in Computer Science: Stanford University, June 1996.

B.A. in Computer Science: Rice University, May 1991. Summa cum
  laude. National Merit Scholar. Tau Beta Pi.
