Employment History

Dec 00 to present
Employer: Aurigin Systems, Inc., Cupertino, CA.
Position: Senior Software Engineer & Project Leader
Automatic textual data analysis and visualization (ThemeScape). ThemeScape was originally developed by
Cartia Inc. (now a subsidiary of Aurigin) based on SPIRE technology licensed from Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory of Battelle Memorial Institute.
I took a leadership for the entire product and was also responsible for the ThemeScape integration into Aureka
Online Services (AOS). During the integration I resolved the following problems:
• Converted Java Application into a trusted Web-based Java Swing Applet (signed by VeriSign certificate).
• Developed a network (TCP/IP) client driver to be used by Web server ASP pages. • Designed and implemented a complex COM API and object hierarchy in this driver to access ThemeScape server’s internal database and objects. • Due to the requirement to work across firewalls in the Web-based product, I redesigned ThemeScape client-server protocol to use HTTP/HTTPS between the front-end and the server • Developed COM+ / DCOM components to run on a dedicated remote machine other than Web servers in the load-balancing farm in order to let them share physical connections and other data. • Designed and implemented XML data interface to feed ThemeScape crawler with the data for analysis. • Distributed ThemeScape servers sharing a common ObjectStore database for better scalability System environment: Multi-platform Front-End: JAVA 2,Java Swing, Java 2D COM API Driver: Visual C++, ATL, TCP/Sockets, COM+, DCOM Server: ObjectStore, C++, ASP, XML, XLT, COM+, DCOM, STL, ADO, MS SQL Server

Three-tier client-server Internet application for stock traders. Was responsible for both Java back-end and
browser-based front-end. Front-end applet was an interactive chart and messaging application for the stock market
traders' community. Back-end was a set of Java applications and servlets with built-in search engine and parsers
converting the data from different Net sources including UseNet (via NNTP protocol) and financial news from
commercial servers. (Java, AWT, Servlets, JSP, Java Apps, Perl, NNTP, SQL Server 7.0, DB2, JDBC)

Intranet Deployment and Deployment Tool. Created a set of ASP pages and a custom COM component to
integrate Microsoft SourceSafe into the Prophet’s Intranet site. The ASP pages connected to SourceSafe via COM
component I implemented and rendered a content of the SourceSafe database. The tool also performed mirroring
and deployment tasks. (Visual Basic, C++, Visual SourceSafe, COM, ASP, JavaScript)

Intranet Defect Tracking System. Developed a set of ASP pages for internal use by software engineers and QA.
(ASP, IBM DB2, ADO)
ODBC C++ Application. Created an application that extracted the data from the historical stock quote database to
the different file formats such as MetaStock, TechTools, and ASCII. (C++, IBM DB2, ODBC)

Technical Indicators for the Prophet Stock Chart Software. Implemented several types of graphic indicators
(chart trends) on Java using the existing mathematical models given by Prophet’s affiliate companies. I rendered
the indicators along with charts and composed them into the GIF file as a response to user HTTP requests.
