Dialogic www.dialogic.com Software Engineer Parsippany NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œAug 2007 to Dec 2007 I was contracted for a temporary requirement. Developed for Dialogic a test application with a GUI matrix that was written in C/C++ and used XML for storing test criteria such as configuration and results validation. The application linked to their latest Linux and Windows HMP (Host Media Processing) platform. The application tested Dialogic components such as voice (VOIP), video and conferencing with transcoding. Testing included all conceivable connections held in a matrix which created positive fail / pass and negative fail / pass results. All levels of code were tested as well as protocol stacks such as H.323, SIP, RTP and G.711, H.263 codecs, and voice & video messaging. Connectivity included PSTN and IP. Work was GUI level to low level real-time coding such as threads, sockets and messaging. BMGCH www.yourmusic.com Architect & Developer New York City, NY Ã¢ï¿½â�œ Feb 2007 to July 2007 I was contracted to audit and advise them on how to change the site's architecture to become reliable. The site included 11 servers hosted at Rackspace. These servers had constant problems that made the site fail frequently. The architecture was Linux, apache, MySQL, and Mod_Perl, also known as LAMP. Mason and CPAN were used as well as a mixture of Apache 1.1 and Apache 2.0. The site was a complex e-commerce system that contained basic shopping carts, search mechanisms, and mass email scripts for traffic generation. It was similar to NetFlix business model where customers would register and could order individual CD/DVD titles or chose titles for their monthly queue. Also included Acerno, Double Click, Dotomi, Consumption Junction and many other traffic generation partnerships. The site was single tiered and required upgrades to multi-tiered architecture with fault tolerance and high availability. I assisted their staff and other consulting companies in maintaining the site while debugging, and adding enhancements. I created various documents include a detailed white paper outlining the steps required to make the system reliable. Built servers and a development environment in an effort to build a network for load testing and staging. Proved the site could run only on Apache 2.0 with mod_perl and Mason. T-Mobile www.t-mobile.com Architect & Lead Developer Parsippany NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œJan 2007 to Feb 2007 T-Mobile was my direct client. Developed an application in C# .NET that extracted 750 gigabytes of BLOB files from Microsoft SQL servers. This utility moved files from SQL server to a large network storage device. The utility was a Win32 application the contained multi-threaded throttle controls for controlling network traffic. All SQL stored files were extracted by this utility and stored in a hierarchy of directories with accompanying text files for storing META data. The tool also contained feedback display for progress notification. The underlying code was clearly separated from the GUI where a service could be created that would allow the tools to check the SQL server for changes in order to update the file system in an automatic mode. This project was a fixed price contract and was delivered on time. T-Mobile www.t-mobile.com Architect & Lead Developer Parsippany NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œ Dec 2006 to Jan 2007 T-Mobile was my direct client. I added a web based Outlook like address book to their Business Objects report scheduling application. Similar to the "Address Book Gateway" product by APOS, my application gave T-Mobile the ability to eliminate failures from user interactions. However, unlike APOS, my efforts did not require any workstation installation and was pure (browser) web based. This included robust Ajax based GUI that handled 40,000 addresses, with filter controls. The backend was a .NET and a JSP service that accessed contact details from SQL database and LDAP / Active Directory. Code was in Ajax, .NET, and JSP. Integrated Active Directory / LDAP for the retrieval of email addresses with Business Objects / Crystal Reports. Later created a server-side script that would modify the Business Objects code, live, with out breaching warrantee agreements. This server-side script modifier disabled native Business Objects reporting controls that created too many errors when using defaults. Ultimately the application greatly simplified and automated the Business Objects reporting tool and eliminated 98% of all report scheduling errors. IP-C www.ip-c.com Architect & Lead Developer Hackettstown NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œ July 2006 to Dec 2006 For my direct client I assisted them in the architecture and design of an Ethernet / Wifi UPnP MPEG4 camera. The camera contained embedded Linux and had RF FSK 400 MHZ sensors and remote controls. The Linux portion had protocols designed for connection to a central server for registration. Firewall port forwarding using UPnP was used for PEER-to- PEER video when available. If port forwarding could not automatically be enabled, then video was relayed using servers that I wrote using low level C++ for Linux. I sourced and analyzed various chip sets including SOC based on Linux with built in Wifi. I created an architecture where the camera included a built in UPS and left options for miniPCI connections for CDMA/G3 or other cellular technologies to be embedded inside of the camera. Various hardware peripherals were designed to make the camera easy to install in any location. I sources various MPEG4 chip sets and chose hardware that simplified software requirements such as eliminating the requirement of ActiveX for the in-browser control and video player. Ultimately assisted their marketing and management team in recovering options for their previous failed investment of $2,000,000. My efforts included options to save their investment and to move forward towards and better design with market longevity. We received over 8 cameras from their competitors and reverse engineered each. RTCare www.rtcare.com Architect & Lead Developer Hackettstown NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œ Feb 2006 to Present Real Time Care is a new vc back venture that I have founded. I developed an Internet based system that unified products of "Multi- Parameter patient monitor" markets including home healthcare and remote monitoring with current market segments such as resting ECG (ICU), Holter, Stress test, ECG analysis, and ECG management & archiving all into one infrastructure with multimedia (mp4 / FLV video), collaboration while maintaining HIPAA compliancy as well as FDA 510k. I analyzed the market, defined cost & pricing models, produced features list, wrote requirements docs, created wire-frames, created the architecture, and developed the prototypes & production level products. This project was called Internet Patient Monitor. It included grid (clustered) servers distributed & dispersed across the Internet for application level load balancing, fault tolerance & business continuity. Custom gateways (router devices) were developed (hardware manufactured in China) for deployment in medical facilities or patient homes for gathering of real time signals via wireless & wired Ethernet and WMTS. The GUI "instrument" is a real time system that displayed patient vitals, demographics, and historical data in any web browser such as FireFox or IE. The servers were written in C & C++ using low-level sockets (w/QOS), multithreading on Linux. The gateway is an embedded device (no hard drive) based on SOC (system on chip) running minimized Linux with a custom TCP/IP client. Branding, skinning, internationalization, and theme management from a previous project at www.HostedIVR.com that was reused. This included administration and management screens and server tools. Also reused video streaming, text chat, voice chat, and extensive drag & drop for collaboration features across the Internet. The IPM project allows ECG technicians anywhere in the world to monitor patients over the Internet in real-time with multimedia contact management & collaboration with medical staff near patients or mobile doctors or patient's home. Tools were included for nursing stations, digital dashboards, permanent archiving with compatibilities to Philips, GE (Datex-Ohmeda), Draeger, Siemens, & Spacelabs. Also displayed ECG signals on cell phone and PDA devices. GUI screens use XMLHttpRequest with Ajax for RIA functionality that made the user experience real-time. Servers used "mod_Perl". When required, C++ was used to enhance Perl. BTree db was used for terra byte storage & real time performance. MS SQL in .NET was used as a repository for exposure to Crystal Reports Business Objects. Specialized servers were developed where ECG arrhythmia analysis and patient video streams (motion & pattern) were analyzed in real-time for false alarm reductions. Video was FLV based. Notification services extended to SMS, IM, paging using TTS & IVR. Developed a method for packet priority (when QOS was unavailable). Created streams where vitals & video were merged with annotations & metadata. Reduced costs of ambulatory equipment & bedside monitors and outsourcing of patient monitoring across the world. RTCare is now applying for FDA 510k approval as well as various worldwide certifications, several patents, ISO 9001, and continues development with offshore engineers and US sales efforts. T-Mobile www.t-mobile.com Architect & Developer Parsippany NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œ Feb 2006 to Apr 2006 Reverse engineered Invoq Alarm Point system with the intentions of fixing the product that was not designed nor supported well. Eventually Alarm Point was abandoned and we developed a custom in house IVR system with open source scheduling based on Ajax and XMLHTTPRequest for RIA functionality. Added text-to-speech, Nuance speech recognition as well as other features that interfaced to T- Mobile infrastructure including a NOC and call center. The final product allowed the Remedy based NOC center to create tickets that our in house notification server would process. Notifications included 2-way emails, IM, fax, inbound & outbound voice calls, & SMS. Was a mix of Linux (Apache w/ mod_perl) and Windows servers with .NET (C#, ASP, C++). IP-C www.ip-c.com Senior Architect & Developer Hackettstown NJ Ã¢ï¿½â�œ Jan 2006 to Feb 2006 Custom TCP/IP stack for energy management: Developed a custom Real-Time IP stack for both wired and wireless appliance infrastructures. This stack allows over 75,000,000 simultaneous TCP/IP connections to be active on one modest server over a single T1. Linux based, written in C code. TCP connections remained active as the server reboots. Included fault tolerance & load balancing. The final product was impervious to DOS (denial of service) attacks. This system allowed millions of consumer and business appliances to connect to the Internet for service, monitoring, consumables replenishment, and energy management in real time. The customer stack worked with both stateless and state-full firewalls. Allows bypassing of firewall & router issues such as port forwarding. Secure, no configuration, while only requiring custom stack at the server. Exceeded A2B & DRM (device relationship management) by Axeda, Questra, & Metrix. IP-C www.ip-c.com Software Developer NY City / NJ /PA areas Ã¢ï¿½â�œ April 2005 to Dec 2005 Reverse Engineering project: For my direct client, I developed a series of tools for accelerated reverse engineering of database files. Specifically, I created an API with accompanying Windows GUI and consol applications for rapid understanding of database files at RAW binary level. This project was then used to understand EDB file from Microsoft Exchange versions 5.5 and 2000. The API was generic with all logic defined in extensive XML files with a built in compiler. Extensive functionality included support for B-Tree, B+Tree, tables, indexes, header processing, decompression, decryption, and other common DB internals. Ultimately the GUI delivered lists of objects in the binary files, in this case EDB, and would extract all mailbox objects with emails, attachments, and with encoding that included TNEF, RTF, and MAPI to PST and EML files as an export function. The project was fixed and guaranteed price. In short, this project was to reverse engineer Microsoft Exchange Server EDB files so that content could be extracted with out rebuilding the server but by accessing the EDB files in a raw binary. C & C++, XML that could compile on Unix & Windows. XML supported VB using Shell scripting.

IP-C www.ip-c.com President / Owner Hackettstown, NJ - Feb 1997 to Present Founded and financed a local ISP (Internet Service Provider) for the development of emerging Internet technologies in both the hardware and software arenas. Our ISP has been a foundation of experimentation, research and development for applications including ISP and head-end equipment, end user systems such as Internet appliances, RBOC and cable TV company bypass equipment. This ISP is a modernization of the previous company, STAR Communications. Currently IP/C maintains a fiber link to the Internet, 18 servers with a variety of operating systems and hardware. The infrastructure includes generator backup, wireless links, xDSL technologies, and custom designed hardware and software. This entire enterprise was designed and assembled from scratch and reflects my current direction and vision of applying Internet and communications technologies to everything. Star Communications Inc President / Owner Hackettstown, NJ - Jan 1989 to Feb 1997 The starship product was GRACE or Global Remote Access Communications Exchange. As a PC based telephony platform, which included voice and fax mail, call processing with debit and calling card, call back, beeper and pager support with real time billing and accounting functions. The real time accounting functions included modules for chart of accounts, invoicing, account receivables, accounts payables and reporting. These accounting modules were coded along with the CTI functions from the low level assembly drivers to the higher API with my own architecture and initiatives. GRACE was the foundation of my C, C++, and assembly experiences where GUI and drivers were written from scratch without 3rd party libraries.
