As a researcher in HRL's systems
department, I conceived, researched, designed and implemented
systems alone, as part of a team, and while leading a team. For
example, I:
|
|
| 2002 | Linux kernel Engineer - Qlusters, Inc., Tel
Aviv, Israel.
|
|
As part of Qlusters' core kernel team I developed
and maintained the core OS components of Qlusters' single system
image Linux based cluster OS. I kept the code in sync with the
latest Linux kernel, fixed bugs, and developed new features, such as
distributed shared memory.
|
|
| 2000 -- 2001 | Programmer and Systems
Analyst--Pointer Software Systems, Israel.
|
|
As a member of
Pointer's team of consultants, I was responsible for designing and
implementing creative solutions to customers' problems. For example,
I designed and implemented an object serialization framework, an
embedded database component for a large C++ application, and a cross
platform library for communicating with GSM modems.
|
|
| 1997 -- 2000 | Programmer and Programming Team
Leader--IDF, Intelligence Corps.
|
|
As a programmer and programming
team leader in the IDF's Intelligence corps. I designed and
implemented several projects dealing with parsing, understanding and
representing large amounts of data.

the Linux kernel, system libraries and software. Core Linux
developer. Familiarity with several other operating systems and
hypervisors.
|
| Programming: | Excellent knowledge of C. Varying levels of
proficiency in C++, Java, Perl, Python, ML, Pascal, Lisp, shells,
x86 and PPC asm.
|
| SW Engineering: | Well versed in all aspects of
the software engineering process, including research, analysis,
design, review, development, QA and verification.
|
| Management: | Experienced in technical management of small
groups of developers and managing geographically distributed
software projects.
|
| Communication: | Excellent oral and written communication
skills, teaching and training experience. Frequent lecturer on
technical subjects.
