CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

Technical Lead for IBM Platform SaaS CloudOps team worldwide incharge of planning, creating, performing and managing training, deployments, validation of solutions, Quality Assurance, and all technical aspects of the service. Worked with Global sales teams to present Engineering Solution for Cloud. IBM STG internally had already been using Engineering Solutions for Cloud for years and with an IBM Fellow worked with sales teams to present to their customers the successful IBM internal solution as an example and also architect and deliver the solution, Result is several pivotal contracts in that market space. Successfully developed relationship between IBM, OpenText, and Cadence Design Systems to enable remote graphical engineering design environment IBM STG needed to reduce the number of datacenters and enable remote users to achieve datacenter consolidation, worked with EDA Vendors, Remote Graphics vendors, IT departments, and EDA to develop and tune solution for intense 2D graphical tool usage, result is 1500+ users all utilizing remote graphics running on central datacenters resources to perform ALL design activity. Supported IBM adoption of OpenAccess 2.x ( OA ) and the translation of previous design data into new format. STI ( Sony, Toshiba, IBM ) planned to adopt the OA database and spearhead IBM’s transition. Worked with Cadence R&D to: refine OA database, debug core database deficiencies, and also identify product improvements. Succeeded in completing entire design cycle with new database. Developed “redundant via generator” software for STI to run at chip level. STI had requirements for redundant contacts to improve yield and reliability of chip but no application. Developed code to recognize viable contact locations and created contacts to fulfill requirements. Final run on chip level evaluated and created over 270,000 contacts with less then 5,000 DRC/Methodology violations in less then 7 minutes. Developed application that reduced Xanoptix’s processing time by 50%. Client needed assistance with application conversion. Developed configuration needed and modified operating software. Application was successful with multiple advantages including reduction of time to market by a month and a half. Led essential upgrade to workstations, increasing speed up to six times while reducing costs by 30%. Xanoptix engineer’s workstations were outdated and replacement costs were $10K per station. Analyzed the current systems and compared to potential upgrades. Installed new LINUX workstations which revealed cost and time saving. Recommended upgrading all stations based on the success of test.
