2011 – Present
Joined a start-up located in San Mateo. More info to follow when we come out of stealth mode.
2010 – Present
Realizing there was an immediate software industry wide requirement for skilled and budget conscious Software Build and Release consulting services, I started AllSCM.com offering Software Build Management Consulting, Release Management Consulting, and General SCM Consulting Services.
2010 – 2011
I got together with a group of friends and started a bill reduction services site. There were good demand for the service offering, but weight of the volume proved too much for the partners to handle. Putting this on ice for the time being, perhaps later on down the road we may revive this.
2009 – Present
I co-founded 123GetCustomers.com with several friends. This company will specialize in helping to bring great individual ideas to life. There are a lot of good ideas out there, but oftentimes people with such ideas do not have the know-how nor the resources to bring the idea into reality. This is where our company comes in. In addition, we also specialize in web design, e-marketing, and web application development.
2007 – 2011
After a few interviews with various companies, I joined InnoPath Sofware Inc., a mobile device management and firmware over-the-air specialist, for its unique position in the wireless industry. Once again, I was tasked to design and implement a new build and release infrastructure from the foundation.
2006-2007
I was recruited by my previous manager at Applied Biosystems to join Thermo Fisher Scientific and help him design and implement a new build and release infrastructure. After the successful implementation of a complete build and release infrastructure, I decided it was time to explore other industries outside of bio-tech.
2005-2006
When Applied Biosystems closed its San Jose site and moved all departments to its headquarter based in Foster City, I decided it was a good time to resign to do some traveling around the world and most importantly finish my undergraduate studies. Towards the end of 2006, I finally wrapped up my undergraduate course work at SJSU and walked away with a Computer Engineering degree with a minor in Mathematics.
2001-2005
I was recruited by Applied Biosystems to serve as a Software Configuration Management (SCM) Engineer tasked with managing and developing the build and release infrastructure of the company’s software development organization in the San Jose site. Later when the company went through a major re-organization and departmental consolidation, I was promoted to SCM Lead in a team of 6 other SCM Engineers.
2001
While in transitional phase, I had a short stint at iCommerce Inc. which specialized in point-and-click website builder application. The company folded under the pressure of the dot com bust.
1999-2000
During the dotcom boom, I joined AllAdvantage.com which was an early leader in the field of targeted online advertisement. This is where my specialty as a Build and Release Engineer originated.
1998-2006
I started my undergraduate work in San Jose State University majoring in Computer Engineering. Starting from the beginning of my undergraduate course work, I had been working full-time in the industry and was taking classes part-time in early morning or late evening which prolonged my time at SJSU.
1996-1999
I joined Hewlett-Packard serving as an IT Specialist. Initially I focused on providing on-site client support for early laptop users within the company. Later I moved to Client-Server support team managing the Remote Access and domain servers.
1994-1998
I took the JC route and attended one of the local colleges as I wasn’t sure of what I wanted to focus my career on at the time. I particularly enjoyed History, Drafting, CS, and Engineering seminars while I was there. Finally, I settled on Engineering with a focus on Hardware. Early 1995 I started part-time work as Network Administrator for local small businesses.
