## BIO
Gary Russell SUMMARY OF SKILLS A multi-disciplined and multi-talented writer and analytical problem solver with experience in SEO article writing, software engineering, and web development. RELEVANT WORK EXPERIENCE  Software Developer III, Team Lead 8/2004-present Confidential Company  Individual duties include the design and architecture of multi-tiered and distributed enterprise systems. Leadership duties include mentoring, performance evaluation, resource management, and project scheduling.  Lead and/or participated in projects including: * A C# web GUI that serves as a unified front and single login point for multiple web based systems. * Multiple Workflow Grid operators (built in C++) , services (built in C++ and Java), and an Interactive Delivery 2 plugin (J2EE). * Implemented an innovative e-business matching and delivery system. Technologies used included Oracle, PL/SQL, C++, C# .Net, Oracle, Perl, UNIX shell scripting, and CORBA. Our team received numerous awards and recognitions for delivering on time and surpassing expectations. * Created a multi-tiered, high availability distributed enterprise delivery solution with a web based front end and grid-enabled backend processing engine. Technologies included Java (J2EE), C++, Oracle (10i RAC), and Perl. * Retooled a legacy job tracking and accounting system. Rewrote the system using modern tools and increased uptime from <80% to >99.9%, saving the company thousands of dollars quarterly. Technologies included C++, LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP), and UNIX shell. * Several J2EE projects involving JSPs, Servlets, and EJBs. Systems Engineer, 8/2002-8/2004 Confidential Company Responsibilities included the design, programming, and testing of signal processing, custom database systems, and real time and embedded data acquisition systems in UNIX (Linux, HP-UX, SGI, and Solaris) and Windows (.Net and MFC) environments for various Department of Defense agencies. Projects were both solo and team based, and included: * The creation and delivery of a grid computing based real time data acquisition and digital signal processing acoustical beamforming system. * Real time modeling of submarine radiated noise signature and acoustic profile using Matlab. * Developed a client/server database loader application. Client software ran in Windows and was developed using C++ .Net and server side components ran on Solaris and were developed using C. * Created a real time data acquisition system for measuring acoustic data.  Graduate Research Fellow, 2000 – 2002 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR Undertook a rigorous investigation of photorefractive spatial soliton optical waveguides in nonlinear photonic materials. Duties included optical system design and setup, laser use and maintenance, computer programming, and data analysis.  Research Technician, 1999 - 1999 Phosphor Technology Center of Excellence, Atlanta, GA  * Optical characterization of semiconductor materials. * Wet chemistry * Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Low energy electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction.  EDUCATION University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR M.S., Engineering Physics, 2002 GPA: 3.9. DOD and University fellowships. Hendrix College, Conway, AR B.A., Physics, 1998 GPA: 3.8, Major GPA: 3.9. Graduated cum laude and with distinction.
