• Configuration/Resource Management: Designed and implemented solutions for configuration and fault management using the SNMP protocol in mission-critical trunked radio systems
• Software Configuration Management: Defined rules and processes using Clearcase to aid in managing and sharing the documentation and code for large-scale projects across various platforms
• Target Machine Administrator: Responsible for the hardware and networking of two labs consisting of more than 50 machines including routers, switches, and varied operating systems
• Packet Dissection: Leveraged open-source software (ethereal) and created dissectors for proprietary protocols to aid in debugging
• Architected solution utilizing XML/XSLT to manage interface information and generate multiple deliverables from a single repository resulting in reduction in defects, cycle-time, maintenance overhead and engineering effort
• Implemented modifications to the highest priority real-time System Initialization and Monitoring Task of the Zone Controller product to use a watchdog mechanism, timers and shared memory to monitor the statuses of all application tasks
• System tested Astro LE system including characterizing anomalies in expected behaviour and aiding box teams in working towards solutions
• Performance tested various load scenarios of the Zone Controller and implemented solution to decrease the time required to collect metrics
• Mentored new engineers on both the Zone Controller and Site Controller product lines
• Trained engineers both nationally and internationally on configuration management and the Site and Zone Controller products
• Modified internal proprietary protocol to implement link throttling and NACK enhancements
• Actively participated in the Local Steering Committee to suggest, evaluate, implement and recommend process improvements
• Worked on the Build Continuous Improvement team to enhance the software build environment
