Hung Nguyen’s Experience

• Software Engineer

  Cisco

  (Public Company; CSCO; Computer Networking industry)

  June 2006 — June 2009 (3 years 1 month)

  After Cisco's purchase of Metreos, the product was renamed the Cisco Unified Application Environment and become a pure software solution. Also, the team adopted an agile development process based on the Scrum method. I continued my work on the web management console, and took up several new responsibilities.
  
  * Engineered the install of the main product, auxillary products, and product hotfixes using Installshield 12 (MSI) and NSIS. Some deployments involved configuring third-party applications, native and Java-based services, and databases.
  * Designed and coded vital components of CUAE's Management Service in Java
  * Designed and coded CUAE's configuration backup and restore utilities and a database migration tool in C#
  * Performed minor maintenance of the new build system, which was based on Apache Ant, Maven, and Atlassian Bamboo
  * Took an active and direct role in customer service and support, often directly assisting the support team or clients/developers over phone, e-mail, IRC, IM, and the CUAE's developer network mailing list.

• Software Engineer

  Metreos

  (Privately Held; Computer Software industry)

  August 2004 — June 2006 (1 year 11 months)

  Metreos was a startup that created a voice-over-IP application development platform that worked mainly with Cisco-based IP telephony solutions (i.e. Cisco Unified Communications Manager).
  
  * The platform existed as a network appliance, and I was brought in to engineer and develop the appliance's web-based management console. The management console not only managed the database, which I co-designed, but it also communicated with and managed the services and the operating system on the appliance.
  * I engineered and developed a web-based administration console for an application suite that ran on the platform, which required the administration of a large number of users (possibly in concert with an LDAP server) and per-user configurations of the applications.
  
  This company was acquired by Cisco in June 2006.

• Student Worker

  The University of Texas at Austin

  (Computer Software industry)

  March 2003 — July 2004 (1 year 5 months)

  I worked for the Information Technology Group of the College of Engineering as a student worker with two very different responsibilities. I provided support for and assisted with the deployment of classroom media systems. I also helped maintain, structure, and code a redesign of the College of Engineering website with a focus on improved UI, accessibility, standards-based design, and Section 508 compliancy.

• Web Developer

  Avatar Technology

  (Privately Held; Internet industry)

  June 2001 — February 2003 (1 year 9 months)

  * Customized instances of and added new features to Course InSite, a Professional Development Management System used by school districts and companies like Pervasive Software, UT Systems, and the Texas Restaurant Association.
