Commercial Experience

CSIRO, Sydney Australia

2006 to present, Senior Software Engineer, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Centre

• Technical lead and software architect. Implementation of a new Internet rate management protocol. Co-designer and developer of microcode (assembly) and C-Language software for Network Processor Units.

• Technical lead and software architect. Developed demonstrator for a Dynamic Collaboration Service (DCS) using Java and the Apache Tomcat servlet container. DCS implements secure, timed, self-managed collaborations with distributed storage and sophisticated authentication.

Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA

1995 to 2001, Software Engineer, Network Communications Group (NCG)

• Software architect and developer for a C-Language Crypto Engine to pre and post-test silicon logic used in the Intel PRO/100S IPSec encryption network card using DES, 3DES, SHA1, and MD5. Developed unique bit-shifting algorithm, US patent #6,801,625.

• Received Intel's NCG Operations Recognition Award for using personal initiative to mentor junior engineers.

• Authored 3 separate Novell C-Language specification drivers for ISA and PCI network cards. Wrote 3 different assembly language drivers; Microsoft NDIS2, Netware DOSODI, and Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) specs for the 10/100/1000 gigabit cards.

• Assembled Flash ROM debugger for Boot ROM and real mode network card drivers.

• Maintained and enhanced device driver software for a suite of ISA/PCI, Token Ring/Ethernet network cards. Where applicable, maintained associated firmware.

• Created Java Native Interface (JNI) framework to interface between driver management Netware Loadable Module (NLM) and remote Java GUI.

• Designed and implemented WIN95 C++ Network Device Installation DLL for Intel PRO/100 cards.

• Designed and implemented diagnostic firmware for a prototype network communications server.

Rogue Wave Software, 1993, Corvallis, Oregon, USA, Intern Software Engineer

• Ported C++ class libraries to a variety of compilers.

• Provided technical support for C++ class Libraries.

Research Experience

Centre for the Mind, Sydney University, Sydney NSW, Australia, 2005 to 2006, Research Assistant.

• Expanded an open source Java jigsaw application into a timed test to examine how an autistic person puts the pieces together as opposed to the norm.

• Developed a Java application to evaluate the Hamming distance between nouns to determine the uniqueness of ideas. Simplistic description: using web searches to look for the occurrence of pairs of words on a page and comparing it to the occurrence of other pairs.

Cell Biology Department, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque New Mexico, USA, 2003 to 2005, Research Assistant

• Designed and implemented a Java application to model genetic regulatory networks in living cells using ensembles of random Boolean networks. For more information, see my Masters thesis http://www.cs.unm.edu/~sdealy/thesis/.
