  • neural systems/information: general neurobiology, artificial life, information theory, complexity, and furthur independent research in artificial life.

Research/Work experiences (by employer):

• Malachiarts Networks - [04/02 to present]: Founder of the Malachiarts networks project, providing: colocation space, managed hosting, and provisioning bandwidth/managing networks for colo customers
• Malachiarts Consulting - [06/01 to present]: Founder of the Malachiarts consulting group, offering services in: unix system administration, database administration and tuning, network administration, application design/development, web design, and management consulting
• Malachiarts Recordings - [06/01 to present]: Sole proprietor of the Malachiarts Recordings record label
• Jobtrak/Monstertrak.com - [08/98 to 05/01]: Chief Technology Officer - directed: operations, development, project/product planning, quality assurance teams. Guided technology department throughout merger with Monster.com. Still participated in all operations duties (system/database/network administration and capacity planning).
• Jobtrak - [11/94 to 11/95, then again 08/96 to 09/97]: Nathan Bradshaw and I wrote and designed the initial code to run Jobtrak's web presence. The project involved: C and Perl CGIs, OCI, SQL, tweaking httpd server source and the early design work. Also took on their sysadmin duties for the Solaris and Hp-UX boxes and Oracle(7-8) DBA duties for their web and accounting systems. Grew the technology department from this initial seed of two, to twenty-two, organized into the aforementioned teams: (ops, dev, planning, qa).
• Self-Employed consultant - [11/94 to 11/95, 09/96 to 04/97]: Unix programming and administration consulting services.
• "Platzgeist" at Art Center College of Design - [4/96 to 9/96]: Coded an interactive cdrom for the New Media graduate school at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
• Fraserlab - [4/95 to 11/96]: System/Network administration of an IRIX and NeXtStep cluster.
• BILRC - [10/94 to 1/96]: System administration for the Beckman Institute Laser Resource Center: IRIX, AIX, SCO, and windows/dos.
• Chemistry Animation Project - [03/94 to 09/94]: Programmer/sysadmin for a group to produce educational chemistry videos. The administration was of an SGI and RISC cluster and I also used the TDI/Wavefront packages for modeling, rendering, and animation.
• LIGO - [01/93 to 10/93]: Developed a transmission/ringdown experiment for LIGO {Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave research Observatory}. The experiment's purpose was to create a more accurate map of a mirror surface by measuring its transmission and coating loss at an array of points across its surface. The project needed UNIX/C programming as well as familiarity with laser/optics operation and serial communications with motor drivers and other optical equipment.

Specific Skills:

• Languages: C, Java, Perl, C++, shell scripting (t/csh/sh), Lex, Yacc, pascal, visual programming for Labview, and Lingo(director)
• Operating Systems: IRIX 4.05 - 6.2, SunOS 4.1.1 - Solaris 9, AIX 3.2.4 - 4.1.1, SCOUnix, NeXtStep, HP-UX 9.x - 10.20, and Linux 1.3.x - 2.4.x
• Implementations/Apps: Oracle db administration and tuning, OCI, PL/SQL, MySQL, building secure and redundant networks, capacity planning for large internet services, IOS, router, bridge, and load-balancer configuration, building custom network monitoring tools, writing linux device drivers, kernel configuration, general unix wizardry, net-host-app security audits, Mathematica, GL/Mesa, Glut, and OpenInventor progrmaming.
• Other Interests: music - guitar, drums, bass guitar, upright bass, electronic sequencing/sampling, and DJing/mixing ;; sports - basketball, snowboarding, skateboarding, and climbing.
