Title: Principal Software Engineer
Responsibilities include the design and implementation of major components of products, often as team leader and significant contributor to the design process. While at Symantec, I worked on the following projects:
- Symantec Enterprise System Architecture “SESA” v2.5 (2005). Implemented the design of a native Windows NT service for endpoint integration into the SESA Management system (previous versions were implemented in Java, native Windows NT implementation required a smaller memory footprint.)
- Symantec Enterprise System Architecture “SESA” v2.0 and 2.1 (2004). This version of SESA offered an “applicance” install — a pre-configured version of SESA that could be simply plugged in to a corporate network and start running immediately. The appliance was set up on a RedHat Linix OS and was capable of integrating with all Symantec products running on any operating system.
- Symantec Enterprise System Architecture “SESA” v1.0 (2002). SESA was a large project offering management of all Symantec products on a corporate web site. Written in Java and using a web-based management and configuration console, it could run natively on Windows NT/2000, Solaris or Linix and integrate with Symantec applications running on Windows, Solaris, Linix, Netware and other operating systems. It used an SQL database for data storage and web protocols for communication between the end-points and the middleware components.
- Norton System Center v4.0 (1999). A Windows-NT based Management system to allow configuration, management, monitoring and reporting of a large install base of Symantec products.
- Norton AntiVirus for Microsoft Exchange v1.0 (1998) team lead. Worked with a team of developers hired from an outside company to design and implement the software.
- Norton AntiVirus for Email Gateways for Solaris v1.0 (1997) coordinated development team in India. This was a Solaris port of the Email AntiVirus product for Windows NT.
- Norton AntiVirus for Lotus Notes v1.0 (1997). An AntiVirus product offering integration with Lotus Notes to guard against viruses in email and shared documents.
- Norton AntiVirus for Firewalls v1.0 (1997) team lead. The first AntiVirus product designed to address the need for virus protection at a corporate gateway. The product employed a web-based management console.
- Norton AntiVirus for Email Gateways v1.0 (1997) team lead. The first AntiVirus product designed to address the need for protection from email based virus distributions. This product employed a web-based management console to configure the product and generate reports. Developed for Windows NT but used SMTP protocols so it was able to work with any SMTP capable Email Server.
- Norton AntiVirus for Windows NT Server v1.0 (1996). This was the first server based, as opposed to desktop based AntiVirus product Symantec produced.
