Resume
Results oriented technologist with experience as Principal Engineer, Principal architect, Senior manager, Director, CTO and CEO. He has remained hands on and enjoys making direct technical contributions. He has an extensive track record delivering very high scale, fast response distributed systems with ultra high availability. This includes successful deployments using next generation service oriented architectures optimized to be deployed on commodity grade hardware which can dramatically reduce costs while improving reliability. He is technically hands on, regularly writes software in multiple languages. He designs embedded sensing and control circuits which run directly on the CPU sometimes without an OS. His ability to work at the high end network scale while dropping all the way to the lowest level circuits allows him to deliver unique solutions which can be taken to market faster and at lower cost.
He is an acknowledged expert in high volume, high reliability Internet applications. He has been primary inventor for patented technologies in fields such as Web Services, Identity management, search algorithms, High scale SOA, Harvesting water from air, renewable energy based cooling.
He is particularly effective at building and managing teams who solve complex problems and deliver industry leading solutions. He is a natural mentor and has successful experience in startup, VC and large companies. He has demonstrated the ability to deliver new products from idea through large-scale deployment.
