Ryan Osborn’s Summary
My 10 years professional experience spans roles in development, design, project management, technical lead, consulting, technical/customer support, and scientific research.
Ryan Osborn’s Experience
-
Sr Software Developer
Signal Patterns
(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)
September 2006 — Present (2 years 4 months)
Currently part of an excellent team, and responsible for a multitude of things including design, development and support of systems for research and web services. Coauthored pending patents.

Sr Software Engineer
VoiceVerified
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)
September 2006 — November 2006 (3 months)
My consultation here was mainly for the VeriVoice Voice Biometric Threadsafe Project. I was the sole engineer responsible for a large scale refactoring of the entire VeriVoice engine C++ codebase, in which I fixed numerous bugs, applied common oo design/implementation solutions and brought the software to a stable, threadsafe state. I also made recommendations on diagnostics tools, as well as designed and developed a multithreaded testing environment for the engine.

Sr Software Engineer
Morgan Stanley
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Financial Services industry)
October 2005 — September 2006 (1 year)
Here, I developed, enhanced, maintained and supported a distributed metrics client library and server app. For this app, I fixed a couple of multithreading related bugs, added event notifications, and fixed some data recording issues.
I also designed, developed and deployed to production a job scheduling, throttling and management server for monthly metrics reporting jobs. -
Software Engineer
IBM Research
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; Computer Software industry)
April 2003 — October 2005 (2 years 7 months)
On the software side, I designed and developed scientific tools, engines, and prototype systems.
Sole developer and designer/co-designer of:
- Biometric engine. This was over 20,000 lines of C++ code I rewrote for this engine's re-architecture.
- Dialog engine.
- Interative policy design and management tool, with:
* UI state machine componentry
* State machine language and interpreter
* Monte Carlo simulation
- Detection cost function threshold tuner tool.
- Vector quantization compression of voice models.
- Four conversational biometric telephony prototypes demonstrating technology, including enrollment, shopping, credit card and door lock authorization systems.
On the research side, I used statistical methods to research fused scoring. Through my Monte Carlo simulations, I showed the intuition is correct that combined scoring is generally stronger than individual scoring. I also coauthored pending patents. -
Software Developer
SpeechWorks Inc
(Public Company; 201-500 employees; NUAN; Computer Software industry)
