Brian Russell, PhD

"Simple Solutions To Hard Problems"
 

My research interests include software engineering, operating systems, distributed algorithms and symbolic debuggers.

Before returning to graduate school, I was a senior-level software designer who had developed software a AT&T Bell Laboratories and a project manager in Silicon Valley. My primary expertise is the creation of robust object-oriented architectures in C++ on different operating systems. I have designed and implemented real-time distributed architectures, large-scale multithreaded systems, portable application software products and designed communication protocols, including the DWARF data representation which has become an ANSI standard.

My current resume can be found here in doc format and in pdf and a cover letter can be found here .
