Experience
Research Assistant, University of California, Los Angeles

1995 -- Present

Designed and implemented planning software for open network architectures. The planner calculates the proper order and location for mobile adaptation modules deployed to facilitate a speedy and efficient unicast connection data transfer through heterogeneous networks for real-time applications. The planner outperforms exhaustive planning by orders of magnitude with the same quality of plans for most cases. The focus of the design for the planning protocol was on speed, resource management, and security.

Designed and implemented software that provides remote execution for power-costly processes, saving mobile computer battery power. The initial state of a power-costly computation is transmitted to a remote server and the result of the computation is sent back to the client using radio-enabled devices on mobile computers.

Built testbeds for the testing of new software, worked out the experimental methodology, conducted extensive experiments, and evaluated the results using statistical analysis.

Worked with research team to develop, debug, release, and maintain Rumor peer-to-peer file replication service.

Project Leader, IADE American Schools, California, Los Angeles

1992 -- 1995

Developed and maintained distributed DBMS that recorded academic progress of 10,000 students of six school campuses located in California and Florida.

Daily tasks included enhancement, maintenance, and trouble-shooting of computer networks and software for the IADE AS campuses.

Provided training course for the staff.
