SLAC: four years at the linear accelerator

From April 2002 to August 2006 I worked at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park. My roles there were manager, engineering lead, software developer and storage network engineer.

I was the manager and technical lead on projects that touched thousands of users.

  • I designed and ran the migration of more than 4,000 users to Active Directory. The project involved 40 system administrators and several levels of management.
  • I co-designed and managed the network firewall architecture.
  • I built an integrated monitoring system in C#, IIS and SQL Server that drew on multiple event sources.
  • I wrote an application for managing application source and licensing, then co-developed its C# replacement using web services.
  • I co-developed and managed an operating system deployment project for scripted Windows installation.

I mentored and advised 40 employees with different levels of computing experience. In 2004 the Research Division gave me a performance recognition award.
