Resume of Kent J. Crispin


OBJECTIVE: Leadership or high responsibility position as a computer
scientist in a research or academic environment. 

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS: Very experienced (10+ years) technical lead
in software design and development, and system administration.  Proven
history of excellent technical judgement.  Experienced in systems and
network programming at all levels.  Experienced in network and
computer security.  Proven ability to lead a technical team, and to
act as mentor for less experienced coworkers.  Excellent verbal,
written, and presentation skills. 

LEADERSHIP: Technical lead for both software developers and system
administrators.  Excellent management skills; able to motivate and
inspire diverse and difficult personalities.  Also skilled and
experienced at interfacing with users.  Examples:

    UNICOS Support Team Leader.  In charge of software developers and
    system administrators (with a wide range of abilities) responsible
    for several Cray Research, Incorporated (CRI) systems on our
    classified network. 

    UNICOS Conversion Coordinator.  Technical coordinator for the
    massive conversion effort from NLTSS (our locally developed OS) to
    UNICOS. 

    Project leader, NLTSS POSIX Interface project. 


TECHNICAL SKILLS: Very experienced in design and implementation of
network and systems software in Unix (UNICOS, SunOS, Solaris, Linux,
others).  Known for insightful and creative design.  Examples:

    Designed and implemented Production Workload Scheduling Daemon on
    Meiko CS/2 MPP (Part of the Livermore Distributed Production
    Control System). 

    Helped design the Portable Batch System (NASA's replacement for
    NQS), and implemented its ISODE-based communications library. 

    Designed and implemented the threads package for NLTSS (a locally
    developed OS) -- the package was compatible with CRI's UNICOS. 

    Ported NCSA httpd to UNICOS, added a form of Kerberos
    authentication to meet security requirements.  I set up (and
    currently maintain) a Web site on that network. 

    Set up firewall software for the SecureNet gateway that connects
    classified sites at Livermore, Sandia, and Los Alamos over
    encrypted internet links. 


EDUCATION: MS '88 in Computer Science, Stanford University.  BS '80 in
