Brian Russell, PhD

"Simple Solutions To Hard Problems"
 

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

I'm an experienced software architect and development strategist with a doctorate in Computer Science. I have created robust object-oriented architectures in C++ on many different operating systems. I have designed practical, fault-tolerant distributed applications, large-scale multithreaded systems, system software products and communication protocols, one of which has become an international standard. I have maintained a consulting practice, but I am now looking for a more permanent position because it's more fulfilling to take a project from start to delivery and continue to respond to new requirements as they arise.

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