PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
IBM CORPORATION, Armonk, NY –
Staff Software Engineer, Advanced Clustering Technology Team, Poughkeepsie, NY –
Unix Development Lab
Conducted functional testing of Cluster Systems Management (CSM) for High Performance computing installation software on IBM Series x and IBM Series p clusters. Also responsible for Accessibility assessment/testing for CSM graphical user interface (GUI).
• Managed and delivered on-time quality tested installation support and configuration for diskless nodes while handling major design changes during the entire FVT cycle.
• Managed and delivered on-time quality tested secondary adapter installation and configuration support while learning the installation process including the complex installation server support over multiple networks.
• Delivered on-time quality tested CSM .-. Linux Cluster Extension for Director for system monitoring.
• Led and analyzed accessibility requirements as applied to the CSM GUI for development of the plus test cases and "proof-of-test" checklists.
• Performed an accessibility assessment and test of the CSM GUI. Regular and artistic testing resulted in finding -% of the defects in the upper-level Web-based System Management on AIX infrastructure as well as defects in the CSM GUI application.
• Managed CSM GUI accessibility assessment such that this application was the first to be completed of all plug-ins.
• Delivered on-time as part of a small team quality tested CSM GUI from inception through several releases. Resulted in a quality functional visual system management offering for customers.
• Delivered quality-tested VSDUI (Virtual Shared Disk User Interface) portion of the Perspectives GUI on the RS/ SP System while learning the underlying Virtual Shared Disk offering. The Perspectives GUI allowed visual health and systems management of the RS/ SP System.
Sr. Associate Programmer/Software Engineer/Staff Software Engineer –
Highly Parallel Supercomputing Systems Lab
Developed system management applications for new high performance clustering offering (PSSP) for the new rack hardware (IBM SP) that became the IBM RS/ SP line on AIX.
• Researched and added DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) to system management applications that resulted in wider security choices for customers as part of a small team.
• Communicated security team direction and provided assistance to developers as part of small team that resulted in consistent security across system management applications.
• Researched and incorporated Kerberos security in system management applications as part of a small team. Provided security for customers.
• Authored white paper: Security on RS/ SP System.
• Created Message Style Guide for software developers to follow to National Language Support guidelines. Provided consistent look and feel to messages across system management applications.
• Created logon control allowing System Administrators to block logins on workload dedicated parallel nodes.
• Served as representative to ISO Design/Code/Test Process Development Group for Second Line Manager.
• Monitored and answered/routed SP system management questions on the SP forum.
• Researched, coded, and documented print/mail strategies and tools including ability to choose secure IDs.
• Assessed missing product function and tested user commands and graphical user interface in X of a research job management offering (Open Queueing System). This offering became LoadLeveler (workload management system).

High Performance Supercomputing Software Development Lab.
Developed and tested system management applications for Enhanced Clustered FORTRAN (ECF) and Common Objects on Remote Electronic Storage (CORES).
• Created an installation program and developed the Program Guide according to AIX guidelines.
• Implemented user interface and device driver for CORES for AIX and PAIX (Parallel AIX) for communication with the remote electronic storage hardware.
• Received award for VM Clustered FORTRAN work adding function, segregating VM-specific code for MVS port and coding and testing parts of an inter-user communication application for MVS.
Programmer, Poughkeepsie, NY –
Implemented Reconfiguration and Recording functions, performed functional testing and administered software testbed maintenance and assessment of patches for the team for -EZ processor controller software in the Software Development Lab.
