Experience
══════════

R&D Consultant - /Dominion R&D Corp./ (Remote, 2009–Present)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  /Consulting and R&D for Fintech, Industrial Control, Communications
  Security, and Blockchain projects./

  • Architected blockchain and IoT systems for energy and fintech
    clients.
  • Created multiple widely used public libraries across disparate
    fields;
    • `cpppo' for industrial EtherNet/IP protocol parsing.
    • `python-slip39' for managing and securing self-custody secrets.
    • `ezpwd-reed-solomon' Reed–Solomon FEC for securing data on lossy
      channels, used by aerospace and weapons systems developers
      globally.
  • Guide dev teams through cryptographic and distributed systems
    architecture and implementation.
  • Actively share research code and papers (e.g. [holofuel-model], many
    other private repos).
  • Authored technical articles on Holochain, consensus, and industrial
    comms.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  /Deployed partition-resilient SCADA maintaining safety-critical
  consensus during network splits./

  • Architected Reed-Solomon erasure-coded protocols enabling operation
    through crippling comms failures.
  • Implemented multi-path routing maintaining cryptographic integrity
    across hostile networks
  • Achieved <1 defect/10KLOC in mission-critical RTU firmware
    controlling $100B+ infrastructure


Software Developer - /Hewlett-Packard/ (Calgary, AB  1989–1996)
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  /Pioneered state machine consensus for distributed industrial control
  systems./

  • Architected DFA-based alarm correlation across geographically
    distributed SCADA nodes.
  • Enabled deterministic state transitions without central coordination
    authority.
  • System remains operational continent-wide after 30+ years continuous
    deployment.
