Skills

• Systems: Extensive background in Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP), Unix, and Linux systems.
• Languages: Strong background in Java, J2EE, C, C++, JavaRMI, Perl, XML/XSL, PHP, JSP, and ASP.
• Databases: Good knowledge of Oracle, PL/SQL, Microsoft SQL Server, stored procedures, triggers, and database links.
• Web servers: IIS, Apache, and Tomcat.
• Networking: Switches, NFS, NIS, TCP/IP, and ATM.
• Distributed and Parallel systems: MPI, PVM, and Dynix
• Other: Experience using Assembly, Basic, Fortran, S+, and SAS.

• Secure E-Commerce Model: (2001) Developed solely a secure e-commerce model using digital certificates for user verification and transaction authenticity to reduce the amount of online fraud for my Master’s Project. Project involved writing software that was downloaded from the web server to the customer via a signed Java Applet providing the customer software to digitally sign the desired transaction which enabled the server to have non-repudiate (non-deniable) evidence that the customer made the transaction. All transactions were stored on a SQL Server so that they could be re-verified if there was any contest of a transaction.
• Beowulf Cluster—Distributed System: (2001) Built in conjunction with another student two Linux Beowulf Clusters for CSUSM to provide a distributed message passing system for education purposes. One 15-node cluster uses PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and LAM-MPI (Local Area Multicomputer-Message Passing Interface) and another 8-node cluster uses MOSIX, which emulates a Virtual Shared Memory Computer over a distributed system. Project involved configuring a subnet, setting up a NIS and NFS, compiling the kernel for each system, imaging drives, configuring all systems and writing sample programs to run on the cluster.
• IBM Competition: (2000) Competed in the 2000 ACM Southern California Programming Contest hosted by IBM.
• Game: (1998) Wrote an asteroid style Game in Java.
• Academics: (1997) Accepted into the Golden Key National Honor Society at UCSB.
