I am an experienced software engineering manager and senior developer with a background in OO Perl, database applications, and web services. I am seeking a director or architect role on a highly technical team where I can design and implement services and products based on open standards.
Oversee integration of multiple teams and projects within and without the backend mail security systems:
Recently I have designed and led some aspects of the implementation for the following projects:
Managed 2 teams of 9 (total) engineers through several dozen software and product releases, and wrote code as needed. As manager of these two groups I was responsible for all aspects of project scheduling and resourcing as well as hiring, budgeting and performance management.
The AntiSpam Technology Group is primarily an R&D group responsible for Brightmail's AntiSpam filtering technologies. Highlights:
BLOC Engineering (Brightmail Logistics and Operations Center) is responsible for the design and implementation of Brightmail's 5-nines uptime production environment, serving tens of thousands of organizations including several very large ISPs and hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies. Highlights:
"Sandy is one of the finest managers I've had. He is a brilliant engineer and also has the extraordinary ability to help a group of ornery developers get along while at the same time protecting them from other managers so their projects can get completed. Sandy is one of the few managers I've had that believed that time spent designing product was as important as time spent developing and testing it. Sandy also brought some key engineering skills to his management style: he was able to juggle a tremendous amount of historical and tribal knowledge so that he could contribute to making the best engineering decisions possible."
Led BLOC Engineering team of 3 developers + 1 QA. Highlights:
"I've worked with Sandy both as a peer and as his direct report. Sandy gets things done. He is consistently the go-to guy for the hardest, messiest, scariest problems and he owns them from beginning to end and beyond. He has encyclopedic knowledge of the systems he owns and can see trouble on the horizon before it even happens. Sandy is a very hands-on, technical manager who will fearlessly dive into the nuts and bolts of what his team is doing when needed."
As part of the BLOC Engineering team, designed, built and maintained:
"Sandy worked for me briefly when he first started at Brightmail. Sandy is one of the smartest people I know. He quickly developed an extensive knowledge of the company's software infrastructure, and became a crucial steward of that infrastructure. Sandy has been an effective leader in every position he has held. His understanding of technology is obvious, but Sandy also understands people."
Primary web developer and technical POC for Department of Medicine. Built dozens of departmental websites with varying degrees of dynamic content and customized content management systems, a faculty database with both public and internal web front-ends, and an internal web front-end including triage/alerts/notifications/reporting for the department's remedy helpdesk system.
Pediatric oncology research focused on monosomy 7. Ran lots of experiments for lab researchers, built a web front-end for a local PowerBLAST integration, and built lab ordering system with some vendor integrations.
Pediatric oncology research focused on neuroblastoma. Ran lots of experiments for lab researchers and developed a search engine for chromosome 1p sequences to accompany one of my papers.
