| EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION | |||
| 2008-present: |
Google, Cambridge, MA
Technical Lead for a team of five on the Social Image Search product, which shows personally relevant image results based on content ownership and social connections. Responsible for architecture, project planning, and team coordination. Engineering tasks included data processing pipeline in map-reduce framework, extraction and analysis of user and data statistics, and development of Javascript and HTML on top of Java servlets. | ||
| 2006-2008: |
Air Network Simulation and Analysis, Revere, MA
President and Simulation Architect. Designed next generation air transportation simulation architecture on an inherently stochastic framework with flexible runtime fidelity scoping using object-oriented approach in C++. Wrote proposals for both government and industry projects and met with prospects and customers at major airlines and decision support tool vendors. | ||
| 2004-2007: |
Genasun, Boston, MA Co-founder and Firmware Engineer. Designed digital electronics and wrote microcontroller firmware for high efficiency solar controllers and lithium ion batteries. Worked closely with analog engineering and manufacturing. Developed several systems running on 8-bit microcontrollers; varying products contained between one and five micros with 2k to 128k of code space. Complete life cycle including budgeting, design, development, testing, production, troubleshooting, and customer support. Rapid development of desktop applications to support hardare. Part time. | ||
| 2001-2006: |
International Center for Air Transportation, MIT
Research Engineer. Technical lead for the MIT Extensible Air Network Simulation (MEANS) development team of five people on average. Designed and wrote a fast-time event-based C++ simulation of US and international airspace, used to assess delays and evaluate new scheduling and operational concepts. Developed visualizations and statistical analyses of simulation results. | ||
| 2000-2001: |
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA
S.M. in Aeronautics/Astronautics awarded September 2001. Graduate Research Assistant in the International Center for Air Transportation. Investigated the effects of airline hub congestion on optimal route selection through simulation of operational delays and costs. Studies included economics, game theory, and operations research in addition to aviation. | ||
| Summer 2000: |
Haven Colocation, London,
UK and Sealand
Buildout of market-leading secure colocation facilities on the micronation Principality of Sealand. | ||
| 1998-1999: |
Gas Turbine Lab, MIT Undergraduate Research in the materials and structures group of the Microengine project, developing a micro-scale (1 cm) gas turbine engine for use in power generation and propulsion. Developed fixtures and procedures to perform mechanical and electrical testing of the packaged engine at room and elevated temperature. Wrote tools to assist with finite-element modelling of rotor and aforementioned complete package. | ||
| 1996-1999: |
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA S.B. in Aeronautics/Astronautics awarded February 2000. Studies in aerodynamics, materials and structures, and control systems. Grade point average 4.9/5.0. | ||
