--// EXPERIENCE  --------------------------------------------------------------//

 Contract Web work (ongoing)

   I have done some small Web sites on contract.  These are hand-coded
   XHTML 1.0 Strict: alpinethreadworks.com, sparrowfahrenheit.net .


 Ditech Networks (2006-2007)

   Worked largely on upgrading a back-to-back user agent for a
   VoIP/SIP Session Border Controller in an embedded GNU/Linux
   system. OO design of new components, C++, some occational Python
   and various open-source bits (mostly reSIProcate). *Used gnuplot,
   python and C++ instrumentation to produce graphs of memory usage
   and performance for debugging*.


 Jasomi (2005-2006)

   Contractor responsible for adding CLI and Web interfaces to an
   embedded Linux Session Border Controller for SIP/VoIP. Also worked
   on the back-to-back user agent (b2bua). Subsequently hired by
   Ditech Networks as part of a buy-out. C++, HTML, JavaScript and
   various open-source Linux bits.


 Critical Control Systems / WNS Emergent / TCENet / Simulutions (1998-2003)

   Oil and gas pipeline batch-scheduling and leak detection system
   running on Solaris, Digital Unix and Windows NT with a SCADA
   interface (input and output). Java, C++ and Python. Mike worked
   with both the GUI front-end as well as the C++, Python and Fortran
   back-end to an ObjectStore database.


 Candela Energy (1999, 2004) 

   Contract to produce a custom proxy to increase chances of obtaining
   success via an Internet-based bidding system. The initial
   implementation worked well, which has lead to ongoing, occasional
   consulting to improve the system.


 Bi-Ways Cycle Tours (1993-1997)

   Tour Guide responsible for eleven group members on week-long tours:
   first aid; daily route planning and leading; on-road bike repair;
   back-county hiking; support van; camp setup and striking;
   assistance with cooking/evening entertaining.


--// OTHER INTERESTS  ---------------------------------------------------------//

 
 Mike is an avid climber (alpine, sport and ice), backcountry-skiier,
 Ultimate-player and cyclist (mountain, road and touring) with years
 of experience in each.  Mike also enjoys gardening, cooking,
 developing his own photographs, coaching Ultimate, reading,
 discussing politics and philosophy and the odd bit of activism.
