scanning of email through the gateway. I was responsible for creating the systems to
keep McAfee up to date with the latest anti-virus signatures and product releases.

Senior Software Engineer
IPFX |
June 2005-
August 2007 |
IPFX is a small, private company that builds VoIP solutions for call centers. My main
project has been in architecting the access to the system's data. This has entailed a
few layers:
- A traditional database abstraction layer to allow access to the data objects without
putting any constraints on the actual database software. This layer was built on top
of the Oracle Template Library.
- A C++ client application framework to allow for simple creation of remote C++ clients.
This layer was used to abstract the network layer and allow for simple, asynchronous
access to the data objects.
- A C++ COM layer written to expose the client framework to Visual Basic and other COM
friendly languages. Additionally the COM Interop system was used to expose this system
to .Net friendly languages.

Independent Contractor
Self Employed |
January 2002-
April, 2005 |
As an independant contractor I've undertaken work for small groups and worked on my
own ideas. My client projects have been everything from small web pages to full
applications. My three main contracts have been:
- Developing a fingerprint matching system to use for access control and other
biometric applications. This system was written in Object Oriented C++ and runs in
Windows and Windows PocketPC.
- Developing a child safety program. This program is used to collect information
about children, including photograph and fingerprints, to create a form for their
parents to give to police if the child should ever go missing. This system uses Object
Oriented C++, MFC, XML, and ADO and runs in Windows.
- Porting PerSense, a financial calculator, from DOS to Windows. PerSense was
originally written and sold in 1992 and has enjoyed continued success since then.
My project was to keep the existing financial logic and move it to a Windows interface
that closely resembled the original DOS look and feel. This system was written in
Delphi.

Software Engineer
Predictive Networks |
April 2000-
September 2001 |
Predictive Networks is a company that provides private, targeted content to
users on the internet and on Interactive Television. I worked in the backend and server
group.
My projects included:
- Maintaining and extending the Content Delivery Server. This server was the
backbone of the Predictive Network. It was written in Object Oriented C++ using the
Win32 API as well as ODBC, TCP/IP, and STL. The server ran on Windows 2000 and I also
ported it to Solaris.
- Rewriting the ODBC database classes so that the system could scale up to the
larger demands placed on it as the company grew. The new classes where written using C++
and ODBC.
- Working with AT&T to create a user logging/monitoring server so that AT&T and
Predictive Network
could partner to bring Predictive Network's technology to AT&T's discounted internet
service
offering. This monitoring server was written using C++ with TCP/IP.

Software Engineer
IBM |
June 1997-
March 2000 |
Worked with the Advanced Internet Technology group in Cambridge MA. The group's main
objective was to create cutting edge Internet technologies to help push
IBM products further into the Internet. My projects included:
- Creating a CIFS server that was the center of the Sash back end tool kit. This
system allowed developers to surface their file system in Windows as a
common network drive. This tool kit was used in Lotus Domino and IBM's Visual Age for
COBOL. This Server was written in Object Oriented C++ and made use of TCP/IP, NetBIOS,
CIFS, and COM.
- Creating components for the Sash front end tool kit. This toolkit allowed
developers to quickly and easily create Windows UI components in simple DHTML. This
work was mostly based on DHTML and Javascript.
- Leading a group of summer interns in the first ever
Extreme
Blue program.
We created a client server data store where clients could easily access and update
data stored in a virtual space distributed amongst many servers. This project was
cross platform,
running on Windows NT, Linux, and AIX. It was written in C++ using TCP/IP.
