Summary

Senior engineer with two decades' experience in building massively-scaled web services (Kabam gaming, Yahoo Personals) using various languages (Java, Scala, Ruby, PHP), frameworks (Play, Apache/tomcat, Rails), data stores (MongoDB, MySQL, Redis), and platforms (AWS, datacenter). Seven software patents, three of them in network security. Fan of test-driven development, type safety, maintainability. Not a fan of long commutes, so my job search starts in mid-peninsula.

Skills

Constructive and positive team player with superb analytic and communications skills, specializing in architecting and implementing interfaces for network-based services using object-oriented languages and open networking technologies.
