Technology Expert
I currently work for Netezza, an IBM Company. Netezza is a massively parallel database appliance using parallel execution blades. I work on the storage layer and query execution engine in C++.I began exploring Linux in 1999 when I was a teenager and I've been using it ever since. I have over 10 years of experience with the GNU/Linux environment, 8 years of experience using Linux as a development platform. I've also been experimenting with IPv6 on my home network and colocated server since 2005, learning about protocol routing in the process.
In the past I have worked as a software engineer at Lime Brokerage in Waltham, MA. My work there was development on a low-latency real time quote delivery system. While attending University of New Hampshire I was employed part-time as a software developer for Lamprey Networks in the area of automated software and hardware testing. I have also worked in systems administration and as a support technician. My professional interests include networks and communications (especially IPv6), operating systems, and open source software.
