hands-on technical and management expertise in object-oriented software development and professional services, fault
diagnosis, operations management, process control, and chemical engineering. Define new products. Plan, hire, and manage
organizations to build profitable products and services. Personally fill in gaps in the organization as needed. Strong
technologist, with an emphasis on real-time, object-oriented software for operations management: automation/process
control, fault management (Abnormal Condition Management), workflow management, network management, IT, AI,
engineering. Improve high-technology business and marketing strategy and sales support. Develop products for the process
industries and Network/Systems/Applications/Service management, based on Java, .NET, G2, and web technologies.
EXPERIENCE
Advisor/Acting VP of Technology. Lead requirements and design, and establish methodology for implementing advanced
applications, such as knowledge management based systems and operations performance management, primarily for process
plants such as refineries. Assist in preparing marketing materials, proposals, and white papers. Led technology requirements
and design for the KnowledgeNet product used for plant business and operations performance management. Requirements,
design, and implementation of an abnormal condition management system for the Takreer refinery, Abu Dhabi.
Professional services for Operations Management, including software and applications development, market analysis
and product definition, project management, business plan development, technology audits, and training. Results included
requirements and design for SAT (www.sat-corp.com), SmartSignal (www.smartsignal.com), and a startup based on workflow technology. SmartSignal
work focused on a web-based GUI for fault detection in jet engines and pipelines. The
other two focused on workflow management, including workflow management with wireless, handheld computers.
Leading real-time intelligent systems company. Started in 1986, IPO in 1996. Originally based on G2, which is a real-time,
object-oriented language and development environment similar to Java.

-
Initiated and built Integrity (formerly OpEx), an object-oriented platform for management of networks, systems,
applications, and services - jump-starting the business unit. Its strength is fault management (root cause analysis,
event correlation, etc.) at and between any layers in the TMN hierarchy, and also IT management. It is based on an
object-oriented server in G2, Java agents, a Java/Swing client, a web browser/HTML interface, and integrated with
SNMP, HP OpenView, and other systems. It includes graphical specification for fault models, procedures/workflows,
and state diagrams; an object repository representing managed objects, reasoning engines for event correlation, root
cause analysis, impact prediction; and a graphical workflow language automating testing and corrective actions.
Integrates Apache web server, Java servlets, JSP, XML, HTML.
-
Initiated, specified, developed, managed
SymCure product for automating diagnosis and testing. It performs
event correlation, root cause analysis, and impact prediction
based on generic fault models. Led to Gensym’s largest sales and

Patrol Diagnose products.
-
Initiated IPRA (IP Reachability/Availability Analyzer): root cause analyzer,
correlator, and impact predictor.
-
Wrote complete business plans, roadmaps,
requirements, designs, and white papers for new products for
network, system, service, and security management, IT management,
and analyzed potential acquisitions.
-
Built consulting organization into an
R&D "machine" to spin out new products while generating
revenue.
