Director, Engineering
1999 - 2006
In charge of the Core Infrastructure team, a 30-person group responsible for providing the lowest layer in the technology stack for Siebel application. Part of the team's charter was to build SCA (aka Project Nexus), Siebel’s next generation SOA-based platform running on both J2EE and .NET. Unfortunately, this product was killed when we were acquired by Oracle. Before joining Nexus/SCA, started the scalability optimization group at Siebel, whose charter was maximizing the user load and throughput of Siebel's CRM applications. I hired over 15 engineers and realized a 2x throughput improvement within a year of founding the team. Prior to that, was the lead developer in introducing Siebel's applications on Solaris and AIX.
