`Curriculum Vitae
`
`Professional Experience
`
`2013 -
`Present
`
`Whitespace Associates
`President
`
`• Whitespace Associates specializes in technology consulting.
`Our core strengths are the future of technology, and technical
`expertise in patent strategy and litigation. Our clients include
`global corporations such as Apple and major law firms such
`as Kirkland & Ellis.
`
`2008 -
`2013
`
`Consultant
`
`• Retained by counsel as a technology and patent expert in
`ongoing patent litigation.
`
`2007 -
`2008
`
`IBM Watson Research Center,
`Yorktown Heights, NY
`Patent Strategist
`
`• Led a team of domain experts and patent attorneys in the
`evaluation of dozens of patentable ideas, in almost every case
`creating patent applications that greatly generalized the
`original ideas of the inventors. Asked to be a co-author on
`several patent applications because my ideas had so
`significantly changed the patents.

`

`

`Yorktown Heights, NY
`Corporate Strategist
`
`• Led the Research Division software strategy for the 2006
`Technology Outlook, outlining the most important areas of
`technology to IBM in the subsequent years.Predicted
`pervasive virtualization to optimize large systems use and
`management, and the rise of applications that take advantage
`of multiple web services (e.g. maps, friend lists).
`
`1994 -
`2006
`
`IBM Watson Research Center,
`Yorktown Heights, NY
`Senior Manager, Massively Distributed Systems
`
`• Created and led the Research Division effort on Autonomic
`Computing, the goal of which is the dramatic simplification of
`the management of large IT systems by making IT resources
`self-managing. Developed an agent-based architecture in
`which IT resources continually adapt themselves to optimize
`the overall system according to high-level administrative
`goals.
`• Created a long-term research project to examine the
`implications of billions of economically motivated software
`agents interacting as part of a global digital economy. Results
`included the discovery of endemic price wars and other
`undesirable behaviors, which can be mitigated by giving the
`agents the ability to learn from their actions; a prototype
`environment for economic agents that is fundamentally
`decentralized and distributed; and work within the FIPA
`standards organization to standardize agent communications.
`• Turned IBM AntiVirus into a multi-million dollar business,
`doubling revenue every year for several years. IBM AntiVirus
`was licensed to millions of computers worldwide, making it
`one of the most widely licensed IBM products ever.
`• Responsible for IBM AntiVirus R&D management, a peer
`business executive position alongside Marketing and Sales.
`Grew R&D staff to 50 people, including a number of world-
`renowned scientists and technologists.
`• Led technical negotiations to license our anti-virus technology
`to Intel and Symantec, resulting in multi-million dollar deals
`for IBM.
`• Led anti-virus R&D for incorporation of our immune system
`

`
`

`

`technology into Symantec products, which shipped in 4Q
`2000. The immune system is a completely automated
`response to new viruses, capable of deriving and distributing a
`cure for a new virus in a matter of minutes after its first
`appearance anywhere in the world. This is all done
`automatically and is both faster and safer than the
`corresponding manual processes. Our immune system
`technology became Symantec’s corporate direction.
`
`1988 -
`1994
`
`IBM Watson Research Center,
`Yorktown Heights, NY
`Manager, Distributed Security Systems
`
`• Performed the first research into the epidemiology of
`computer viruses, predicting that the problem would become
`much worse as the world moved onto the Internet.
`• Led the development of anti-virus technology designed to
`meet the growing threat, including a unique immune system
`for the Internet.
`• Created the IBM AntiVirus product line on Windows,
`Netware, DOS and OS/2, and made it into an entrepreneurial
`business inside IBM.
`
`
`
`1984 -
`1988
`
`IBM Watson Research Center,
`Yorktown Heights, NY
`Research Staff Member
`
`•
`
`Invented architecture for physically secure cryptographic
`coprocessors and applied it to protecting rights to use digital
`media.
`• Created the organizing framework for NIST’s FIPS 140-1
`standard for the physical security of cryptographic systems.
`• Led the development of successful prototypes based on this
`architecture, resulting in the Integrated Cryptographic Feature
`for IBM System 390 and the IBM 4758 Cryptographic
`Coprocessor, the first systems rated at Security Level 4 (the
`highest) of the FIPS 140-1 standard.
