RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
2001-Present, Associate Researcher, Condor Project, Department of
Computer Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Designed and implemented a variety of software for grid/distributed
computing and software packaging. Collaborated with scientists,
software developers and students from multiple institutions to design
and build systems. Examples include:

  * Co-PI on two NSF-funded grants:
    - NMI Deployment: nanoHUB
    - Rapid-Response Adaptive Computing Environment for LHC Physics
      Analysis
  * Managed and developed the Virtual Data Toolkit, a multi-institution
    collaborative effort to distribute, install, and configure complex
    grid software. http://www.griphyn.org/vdt. This included hiring
    and managing a team of developers.
  * Developed code and provided management for the Condor 
    batch system and Condor-G grid batch system
  * Converted graduate-student research C++ library "ClassAds" 
    into a production-ready library
  * Guided the design of NeST, a network storage appliance
  * Aided in the development of Hawkeye, a cluster monitoring tool
