OBJECTIVE

University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, May 1993
B.S. Electrical Engineering. Concentration in computer architecture and design. GPA: 3.7/4.0

• Apply extensive computer networking research experience to design an ATM network for a multicast network application. Develop software and present details of technical architecture design to customer.
• Design and implement a flexible ATM network for telemedicine applications. Plan and purchase necessary network components, integrate telemedicine applications, and interface existing network systems with ATM fiber optic backbone. Apply communication skills as interface between medical school and engineering school sponsors.

• Develop ATM-based conference control system for interactive multimedia sessions. Combine native-ATM with IP-over-ATM audio and video to enhance network multimedia conferences. Demonstrate system capabilities for distance learning and telemedicine applications to hundreds of potential sponsors.
• Design and develop platform independent graphical user interface and control software for SNMP management of ATM codec. Enable intuitive control by abstracting underlying complexities of network management.
• Teach concepts of object-oriented systems programming to hundreds of undergraduate engineering students.

• Enhanced team leadership and system integration skills as technical lead in Open Systems Architecture research and development laboratory. Maintained cost and schedule for $150,000 critical item test contract. Led team to deliver system on time and under budget.
• Communicated with technical working group as the on-site representative for multivendor critical item test. Presented technical details of high bandwidth network configuration to hundreds of demonstration attendees, which included U.S. Navy admirals and their staff.
• Designed proof-of-concept Fiber Channel Standard network technology demonstration. Assembled and led team to work with vendors to purchase and integrate cutting edge hardware and software. Applied technology to key customer need and influenced multi-million dollar contract award.
• Demonstrated pioneering radar technology, Passive Coherent Location, during two-week high profile sea test. Adapted system to enhance functionality in challenging field environment.
