Subject: 15 Years Networking - Portland Oregon or Telecommute

I have fifteen years of experience in the design and
implementation of networking and communications
software, and 5 years supervising people doing similar
work (15 years total).

In addition, I'm pretty well up on the latest Internet/
NREN developments (both policy and technical) and I've
been following the new telco protocols (SONET, ATM,
Frame Relay, SMDS, etc).

I'm looking for work anywhere in the greater Portland
Oregon area (ie, anywhere from Salem to Vancouver), and am
interested in either a full time position or contracting
work.  I would also be interested in contracting elsewhere
if the work can be done primarily by "telecommuting".  
Basically, I would consider anything that doesn't involve 
permanent relocation.

I've attached my resume in "troff -ms" format.  If you
would rather have a hard copy, give me a call at
(503) 650-9629 or send me email, and I'll mail you one.

Professional Experience
.R
.sp
I have fifteen years of experience in the design and implementation
of computer systems software, computer networks, and distributed processing
systems.  I have an in depth understanding of the TCP/IP protocol suite, and
its implementations in Unix and "Unix like" systems.  I have over five years
of experience managing technical people involved in Unix software
development, and networked Unix systems.

Job History

.IP \(bu
Since February 1989 I have been employed at Tektronix, in Wilsonville, Oregon.
I served as the principal network architect in the Workstation Division, and
then as the Principal Engineer in Network Display's technology group.
My major accomplishments in this group were
to get a full Internet connection operational at Tek, and to increase the level
of understanding of the Internet protocol suite in the group designing Tek's 
X-Terminal products.  In Network Displays, I have also been responsible for
porting "BSD-Tahoe" based kernel code to a new processor 
platform, for NDD's latest X terminal product.

From 1985 to 1989 I was involved with the Distributed Computing IRAD project
at the Unisys West Coast R&D Center, in Camarillo, California.  From 1986 on, 
I was the project manager.
The major thrust of the project was to lay the groundwork for
future defense contracts involving distributed computer systems.
.sp
Specific technical work included creating a testbed of Unix and MACH based
workstations, running both TCP/IP and OSI protocols; analyzing trade-offs in
the use of the Ada programming language for network software implementation;
and prototyping various gateway protocols, including dual DoD/OSI IP gateways.

From 1983 to 1984 I was the project leader for a development which linked 
IBM PC's with Unix systems via the Ethernet and Omninet local networks, at the
Micro Five Corporation in Irvine, California.  This project was jointly funded
by Micro Five and a company overseas.
.sp
Along with the design of the networking software and the supervision of its
implementation, my responsibilities also included interfacing with both
technical people and management in the French firm and one of its subsidiarys.

During 1982 I worked at the Informatics Corporation in Canoga Park, California.
I was part of a team that did the initial design for a LAN workstation product
which was to have linked into database systems that Informatics provides for
IBM mainframes.  I analyzed approaches to integrating LANs with IBM's System 
Network Architecture, and prepared a study comparing SNA, DECNET, and the OSI 
standards.

During 1980 and 1981 I designed and implemented an in-house local network 
at Technicolor, in North Hollywood, California.  This system consisted of 15 
8080 based computers communicating with a high capacity central file server.
The LAN was used to connect the special purpose terminals which allow the
"color correction" to be done, prior to processing the final prints of movies
for theater use. 
.sp
.IP \(bu
From 1977 to 1979 I was employed by System Development Corporation in Santa
Monica, California.  There I was involved with the implementation of the first
prototypes for the "Blacker" system (a secure front-end for the Defense 
Data Network).  I also participated in the development of a commercial 
cryptographic device which was based on the NBS Data Encryption Standard.
.sp
.IP \(bu
During 1975 and 1976 I worked at the L.A. Community College District in 
Los Angeles, California.  My duties involved writing instructional programs, 
including an 8080 simulator and assembler, and helping to hook up micro 
computers at the various college campuses to the district's IBM 360 mainframe.
