Objective	Lead role in the architecture, design, or evaluation of systems delivering Communication and Internet Services
Experience	1997-2001 Lucent Technologies Naperville IL Technical Manager, Next Generation Services Architecture Leader of a small team responsible for architecture, prototyping, standards, and marketing support of next generation communication services. Responsibilities included customer presentations to major carriers (US and worldwide), presentations and demonstrations at major telephony conferences (VON, Supercom, NCF, ICIN, IN World Forum, …), development and communication of technical strategy for converged communication services products, and response to customer requests. Major Projects Include: § Built a programmable SIP Proxy Server (iSIP) tested at 5 industry bakeoffs, presented at several VON events, and incorporated into Lucent Technologies PacketIN application server § Built VoiceXML platform (Teleportal) using Bell Labs research prototype interpreter and Lucent Technologies enhanced Media Research Server for speech/telephony, which is now a Lucent product. § An internet call control service platform (Lucent OCC) which was the basis of Lucent Technologies contributions to the IETF PINT and SPIRITs working group. The work led to 2 patents and is now a Lucent product. § Built prototypes demonstrating the delivery of IN and AIN services in networks using SIP and H.323, also the basis of several standards contributions (IPTEL, SIP/SIN, ETSI/TIPHON) 2 patent submissions and a several technical papers. § Proposed an architecture for presence based communications presented in papers and technical presentations at several major conferences. Designed methods to use IN for presence detection, presence based call routing, and presence based calling. (Next Generation Dialtone) § Architecture for Lucent Technologies UMTS/3G wireless services platform, following the OSA/Parlay standards and delivered using the PacketIN platform. Other responsibilities included technical evaluation of potential suppliers and partners in service platforms and software, budget and product strategy. Member of Lucent Technologies System Architecture Review Board, an organization providing technical reviews for all lucent technologies products.
	1994-1996 Lucent Technologies Naperville IL Product Manager, Processor Platforms Responsible for evaluation of computer hardware and platform software for Lucent Technologies core communication products, as well as business management and opportunity assessment for the development of common control platform hardware and software. § Launched Lucent Technologies Reliable Clustered Computing program providing hardware and software components to cluster commercial unix servers to achieve high reliability in several Lucent Technologies product lines. § Worked with key suppliers (Sun, Chorus, HP, Compaq/Tandem) to develop enhanced availability functions
	1984-1993 AT&T Network Systems Naperville IL Technical Manager, Software Infrastructure Responsible for architecture and prototyping of software technology to improve productivity and customer programmability of Lucent Technologies products. Significant projects included: § Development of a programmable service node using an application oriented language that was the first prototype for Lucent Technologies AIN product line § Developed an object oriented programming environment similar to Java (but 5 years earlier) with real-time memory management (garbage collection), X11 based window graphics, incremental compilation, loading, testing, and debugging tools, and many prototype applications. The system was the subject of several patents, technical papers, and was for a short time sold by AT&T. § Developed a prototype local switch providing ISDN services using a real-time LISP based object oriented control architectures. The project involved working with several software and hardware vendors to develop the needed real-time lisp implementations, and the prototype provided phone service to about 50 project members and conference rooms. Platform a major AT&T product. § Developed several prototyped applications of Expert Systems to the diagnosis and repair of telecommunications systems.
	1981-1983 AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville IL Technical Manager, Integrated Voice/Data Communications Responsible for a small team chartered to architect and prototype next generation switching technology carrying voice, data, and other forms of communication. This involved network architecture, protocols, switch hardware/software architecture, and prototyping. § Developed Fast Packet Switching, a network carrying all communication in variable length packets similar to what is now done using TCP/IP. § Developed several architectures for high performance hardware assisted packet switches to provide packet switching at line rates (T1 and T3), priority queuing and flow management for QoS, and self-routing. The work is the subject of many patent filings and several technical papers. § Prototyped the hardware and software design using ASICs implementing the key hardware components. The prototype was transitioned to a product .. 1978-1981 AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville IL Member of Technical Staff § Prototyped a new switching system supporting digital connectivity to the customer, by integrating switching, digital loop, terminal, and software platform technologies from several research efforts together with call control and other applications developed locally. The architecture and communication protocols contributed to standards and design for ISDN (i.e. Q.931 signaling) § Developed several software tools, including an implementation of the EMACS screen editor still widely used within the descendants of Bell Labs and sold externally by AT&T, several terminal emulation programs for PCs and X Windows/Unix.
Education	1973-1978 M.I.T. Cambridge Ma. § Ph.D. in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering (1978). Thesis research on concurrency control for distributed data systems. § Masters and Engineers Degrees (1976) . Thesis research on highly secure computer systems as part of the MULTICS project. § Worked as research assistant for some of this time, projects included development of protocols and implementation for the ARPANet, Studies of application and user behavior in MULTICS, and language and tool implementation. 1969-1973 Dartmouth College. Hanover, NH § A.B (1973) with dual major in Math and Engineering., summa cum laude § Worked for 4 years part time and full time during summers on the Dartmouth Timesharing System (DTSS) where I was responsible for the operating system and several other pieces of system software. Major projects included restructure of file system and process scheduling to improve efficiency and reliability, adaptation of the OS to work with a new generation of hardware, development of several application Utilities, and enhancement of a computer Chess playing program which competed in a national tournament.
