I have recently come to the realization that system security is critical to maintaining our way of life, and that continuous security improvements will always require innovative teams of engineers that collectively understand how computer systems work from top to bottom. I am joining OWASP to learn, and then to eventually contribute. I am a software engineer who uses innovative architectures to increase the reliability and scalability of: embedded, system, application, and legacy software. My scalable and extensible thread-safe object oriented solutions use asynchronous distributed objects across threads, processes, and networks via a message bus.

Areas of software engineering expertise include: • Languages: C/C++, UML, SQL, Unix and Windows Command Shells • IDEs: Microsoft Visual Studio (MFC&ATL), Wind River Tornado, Freescale CodeWarrior, GNU, Borland, and Keil • OS Development: Unix, VxWorks, and proprietary RTOS systems; bootstrap & CPU initialization, block & character device drivers, STREAM (Unix) protocol modules • Source Control: Subversion, SourceSafe and CVS • Network Protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, ARP, UPnP/SSDP, DNS/mDNS, and Zeroconf

Other engineering and technical experience: • Software engineering of the Unix systems used for an earlier version of the NYSE, and for the architectural CAD system used to refurbish the Statue of Liberty; • Electronic maintenance of the RF systems used to communicate with Voyager, Pioneer, Viking, and Helios spacecraft (JPL’s Deep Space Network); and for a U.S. Navy target tracking and missile guidance radar system (Raytheon AN/SPG-51C).
