EXPERIENCE:

 . Computer Science Researcher, Flux Research Group, School of Computing,
   University of Utah. March 2004 - Present

   Worked as a research staff programmer in a networking and operating systems
   research group.  Extended the Emulab.net network emulation testbed system,
   used by over 1500 researchers in hundreds of organizations worldwide.
   Emulation means each experiment has repeatable access to hundreds of real
   physical computers and network VLANs, with controlled network link
   characteristics.

   My work included porting the Emulab experiment node software to Windows XP,
   implementing a complete automated testing framework and SQL injection
   scanner for the Emulab web interface, and improving the accuracy of robot
   location-sensing on a mobile wireless sensor-net testbed.

 . Software Engineer, Think3 Inc. R&D group, Salt Lake City, Utah.
   May, 2003 - February 2004

   Worked as both the local system integrator and a software developer,
   contributing to Think3's Computer-Aided Industrial Design software product.

 . Software Engineer, Stabro Laboratories, Inc., Salt Lake City,
   Utah. September, 2001 - December, 2002

   Worked with a small I.S. team to create Web-enabled calibration laboratory
   work-flow software based on C# client apps, XML-RPC/SOAP, and Linux servers
   with Apache, Zope, Python, MySQL and Samba.
 
 . Systems Programmer, Halosoft, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 
   January-August, 2001

   Created extensions and server benchmark demonstration applications for the
   "Viva" multi-language distributed OS as part of a small core team in a
   start-up company.
 
 . Co-founder and Project Technical Lead, GDC (Graphics, Design, and
   Computation) Project, School of Computing, University of Utah. 1980 to 2000

   - Served as the chief system architect and a lead implementer of the
     "Alpha_1" 3D sculptured-surface engineering CAD and computer graphics
     software project.
 
   - Personally advised the software portions of at least thirty M.S. and
     Ph.D. research projects, as well as the continuous software evolution
     work of a staff of up to eight full-time programmers.
 
   - Led research in NURBS algorithms, parametric and geometric design,
     automated mechanical engineering and CNC manufacturing processes,
     telecollaboration, and portable object-oriented systems.
 
 . Scientific Applicications Programmer, Envirotech Information Systems 
   Division, Envirotech Corporation. 1977 to 1980

   - Developed and implemented projects in support of engineering and
     manufacturing.
 
   - Co-authored "Sketch", a graphical editor/front-end for structural
     engineering analysis programs.
 
   - Developed a computer-numerically-controlled machining (CNC) programming
     environment.
 
   - Evaluated CAD/CAM systems for engineering design and NC programming. 
 
   - Architected, designed, and implemented all software for a new process
     control microcomputer.
 
 . Graduate student, teaching assistant, and research assistant, DARPA 3D
   Computer Graphics Project, Computer Science Department, University of
   Utah. 1975 to 1977

   Research Area: Portable, object-oriented architectures for geometric
   modeling systems.
