About

Consulting using Java, C++, C, for server side or embedded apps. Years of background in kernel development, linkers, loaders, compilers, tools, runtime libraries. System architect for several projects. I learn and do whatever is needed to help my clients design, implement, maintain, debug or speed up any kind of system. Clear, readable, maintainable code is my specialty. I have worked with clients all over the world (Motorola, Siemens, Nokia, NYSE, Chicago Merchantile Exchange, Ebay, Wachovia, StorageTek, and many smaller companies) to help architect and implement solutions using Berkeley DB from Sleepycat Software (now Oracle). I have helped many companies locate and fix spurious bugs and performance problems. Specialties: Systems and application level coding and architecture, Berkeley DB performance analysis, code reviews and training. Debugging hard problems.
