Statement of intentions
I am currently in charge of the release process in the integration engineering group at Sigma Designs.
I spent a year in 2003-2004 leading the architectural design and development of an XML temporal database in Java for nexB. One of the key features of the database is the ability to be queried with the XPath language. Also, I implemented a web interface front-end running on Tomcat and JSP/Servlet v2.4 demonstrating the abilities of the database. The development of the project required mastering XML and DOM and proprietary (Dom4J and XOM) Java bindings, JSP/XML and servlets, W3C and RelaxNG schemata.
In 2000-2001, while working on LSI Logic's DVD solutions, I successfully supervised the development of a key system component contracted with an Indian software company, so that I feel confident interacting with offshore development teams.
Located in the Bay Area, I do not require any sponsorship for legal work status.

This time, it's for real
Ok, no more kidding around. The more stable job pushed me to do the big step: I gave in and got myself a nice toy.
It's nice enough for my little commute—10 miles from door to door—but it really becomes as good as it gets on the windy back roads of the Bay Area.
For the record, last weekend, I rode with my friend Sid, and at some
point we switched so that he could try my bike. He rides a Suzuki
SV1000S. Well, ten miles on another bike don't lie: I prefer mine
