Used To Work On …

A few instances from my Journey from 32K EEPROM and C/CPM to Clouds and Social Networking

• 32K – that is all we had for developing Real Time Control Apps (& that includes UI on TeleRay! CHR$(27)[1;1)
• C/CPM - Yep, have developed multi-core apps years ago (actually on 8086,macBasic with two tasks in two buffers) for testing aircraft engines
• UI with effects like venetian blinds - PEEKing and POKEing at B8000 (if you know what I mean ! And then protected mode came - no PEEKing anmore ;o()
• Have developed Control software - PID Controls et al - for aircraft engines, Caterpillar transmissions, binary nozzles for air flow in F16 planes,... (Using Turbo Pascal!)
  • Think of reliability one needs, when our software is running an aircraft engine at 30,000 rpm and 300% load (and you are standing nearby looking at the debug screen!)
• Languages worked on include Ada,Cobol (yep, still remember those pesky 99V99s),Pascal,(some) C, Java, now started looking at Scala, Ruby & Erlang
• Lotus Notes API programming and work on sales and marketing information systems
• MCSE,LCNS,JCP,CISSP,CCNA & now VCP certifications
• Security architecture for eSpeak
• NIST PKI Workshop participation - Programming committee and was chair for one year
• Sensor Networking
• MANET & network-centric operations
• The world of ebXML,RosettaNet,B2B, XML, Tibco,... and work with partners on B2B systems
• Participating and representing my company at ETSI Specialized Task Force (did some work on Electronic Signatures), W3C, OASIS, JCP et al
• Guest Lectures at the Naval PG School, Monterey (Cloud Security, sensor networking, programming et al)
• 3 years at GGSG working on Federal stuff
• Technology work in the Application Oriented Networking product offering
• Architecture and development of Web System for logistics company - work load manager et al
• Distributed Precision Time Synchronization in the order of microSeconds
  • Implemented state machine & protocol for the emerging IEEE1588v2 and participate in plugfest at Vienna, Austrian Academy of Sciences
• Policy Control Plane for Cloud virtualization
• Implementing OAuth with added security to the basic protocol
• Cloud Computing, social and knowledge graphs, OpenSocial et al...
• And Now at the CTO's office focussing on Cloud Computing ...

Used To Work on ...

• Scalable Computing
  • Cloud Policy & Control Plane/ POD OS
    • Two talks at OMG “Strategies & Technologies for Cloud Computing Interoperability”
      • Inter-Cloud http://federalcloudcomputing.wik.is/@api/deki/files/38/=Cisco_-2009-03-23_SATCCI__D.pdf
    • Architecture & POC of Inter-Cloud mechanisms of network services for CloudBursting
    • And an abstracted-declarative Policy Control Plane for Network Services Virtualization
  • Architecture & Implementation of a Computing Cloud based on a "Cloud of unreliable stuff" for network based services
  • My first contribution to Wikipedia !

• Social & Knowledge Collaboration Networks
  • Architecture of Web 2.0 E2C Gateway (Enterprise/Cloud Communication Gateway) "Appliance"
    • A multi-tenant communication gateway by the side of firewalls to capture the context & then enable inter-enterprise collaboration!
    • Firewalls simply do not have the rich context to manage a L4+ multi-vector collaboration network. May be this reflects the maturity from coordination-networks to collaboration networks.
    • Enterprise-grade OAuth with added security primitive
  • DYMO & NHDP for Social & Knowledge Graphs ! (Have a short proposal on this to Amazon Web Services Start-up Challenge. A la Netflix-IMDb combination - long shot, but stranger things have happened; it might come thru !)
  • Social Tagging Hitchhiker's Presentation
• iPhone programming
  • Social Game infrastructure (Social Sudoku, ...)
    • Hosted on Amazon "Cloud" infrastructure
  • Slowly working my way up the stack. mac dev will be part of my life one way or another !
    • Objective-C & Cocoa Bootcamp @Big Nerd ranch[Completed 06/08]
    • iPhone Bootcamp @Big Nerd ranch[Completed Sep, 08] [Very good class, am into iPhone programming now!]
    • Advanced Mac OS X Bootcamp @Big Nerd ranch[12/08]
