- California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
- Assistant Systems Software Specialist,
Computing Resource Center (5/96-present)
System and network administration / software engineering and
development for the Cal Poly Pomona Intranet Project.
Installation/configuration/maintenance of Digital UNIX 4.0 on DEC
Alpha workstations and Solaris 2.5 on Sun SPARC workstations.
Design, implementation, and maintainence of the Cal Poly
Pomona DCE/DFS cell.
Implementation of a DCE authentication module for the Apache
web server to allow secure access to the DFS filesystem
including respecting DFS ACL protection. Developed suite of
CGI programs to simplify DCE/DFS administration. Integrated
DCE authentication into the Columbia Appletalk Server, allowing
Macintosh workstations to mount DFS using native protocols
and full DCE credentials. Integrated DCE authentication into
Qualcom's POP server, allowing delivery and retrieval of mail
from DFS.
Assisted in administration of other University servers, including
the campus WWW and news server. Closely monitored security
issues and retrieved patches and upgrades as needed.
Introduced the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to the campus and
helped establish three local NTP servers.
Temporary assignment administrating the CS Department SPARC Lab,
consisting
of 35 Sun SPARC 20 workstations. Installation and configuration
of Solaris 2.5 operating system including networked Jumpstart
installation procedure, NIS+, NFS/cachefs, secondary DNS server,
sendmail (SMTP) configuration, Apache WWW server, and CDE
graphical user environment. Developed CGI based interface
to user administration allowing easy access without system
administrator involvement.
- Hughes Aircraft Company
- Software Engineer/System Administrator (5/95-10/96)
Administration of research/development
lab consisting of Sun SPARC workstations running both SunOS and
Solaris, PC compatibles running DOS, Windows, OS/2, and
Windows NT, and Macintosh systems. Configuration/maintainence
of NIS, NFS, and DNS. Installation/configuration of WWW
(HTTP) servers/proxy servers,
NNTP (News) servers, FTP servers, SMTP servers, majordomo
(listserv) configuration.
Developed CGI interface with database backend for automated
proxy registration process.
Installed and configured the Harvest search engine to index
documents available via WWW servers.
Provided system administration support for Highway 407
project (automated toll road collection in Canada).
Installation/configuration of AIX 3.2.5 and 4.1.4 on
IBM RS/6000s. Assisted in configuration of
ATM/ethernet/FDDI network.
Supported ECC RAAP (Rapid Application of Air Power) project,
which involved porting C code from SunOS to Solaris, utilization
of X/Motif toolkits, and configuration of Sybase SQL servers.
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Software Engineer/System Administrator (1/94-5/95)
Administration/maintainance of a heterogeneous network
of Sun SPARC workstations, IBM PCs, and Macintosh computers.
Responsible for configuration of physical ethernet network,
distributed NIS, NFS, and DNS. Provided technical support for
end user engineers. Installed and configured WWW server for
group. Assisted in team development of software simulations of
deep space transceiver hardware using C and a SPARC based
simulation development tool, SPW. Responsibilities included
implementation of transceiver coding algorithms such as
Reed-Solomon and Convolutional. Developed graphical user
interface for software simulations using C++ and Motif.
