Advisory Software Engineer, IBM Corp.
San Francisco Bay Area
After several years in QA at Amdahl, I helped form Amdahl's Graphical User Interface development team.
At the end of an eight-year stint on mainframes, I moved over to Veritas Software a week before their IPO. I joined a small team of engineers intent on making Storage Virtualization understandable for the average SysAdmin.
8+ years later, I joined a startup SAN company named Maranti Networks, where I worked on intelligent storage virtualization at the SAN controller level.
At the beginning of 2005, I left there to join an even smaller startup with a much brighter future: XenSource.
Based on the open-source technology named Xen, XenSource's products aim to bring the Xen para-virtualization technology to the Enterprise data center!
May 2006, I joined the Information Integration Services group of IBM. Part of a newly formed team, I am helping to develop a new GUI based on Eclipse that will enormously simplify the integration of large Corporate data.
