I worked in high speed optical networks in electronics at Alcatel-Lucent in Raleigh 1997-2009. I performed optical module bit error rate, eye mask, extinction ratio,
Tx optical output power and receiver sensitivity testing in high speed SONET (synchronous optical networks) and in R&D in fiber to the home hardware development at Alcatel-Lucent in Raleigh, NC. I also have experience in schematic capture, hardware testing and in SMT electronics hardware development, Monte Vista embedded Linux for networking
and ITU G.984.3 GPON fiber to the home standards.

I have about 10 years combined experience in UNIX with HP UX and Sun Solaris. In 2011-2013 I worked in the IBM Harrier enterprise server hardware development group in RTP and at Schneider Electric in Knightdale, NC as a
system validation engineer for the Wiser Efficient Home wireless ZigBee home energy monitoring project released in France. In 2014, in Durham, NC I worked in analytical troubleshooting of hardware failures for EMC Intel S2600 GZ (code name grizzly) storage servers with up to 24 TB of storage space, dual Intel Xeon processors, 256GB of RAM, RAID, 40 GB SAN, 10GBE. I have attended the NC GIS conference in years 2011, 2013, 2015.
