In November 2002, I became a system programmer for the High Energy Physics Department at University of Wisconsin, thanks to funding from the National Science Foundation.

I work on software related to CMS, an international physics experiment that began taking data in 2008. Among other things, this experiment is designed to study the Higgs boson.

Here at UW, we are focusing on the use of shared computing resources, machines that are not solely owned or dedicated to one task. NSF projects we have worked on:

• CMS Tier-2 Computing Center
• Advanced Networking Initiative (ANI)
• Any data, Anywhere, Anytime (AAA)
• Data Intensive Science University Network (DiSUN)
• Rapid Adaptive Computing Environment (RACE)
• Grid Laboratories of Wisconsin (GLOW)

• CVMFS support in Parrot
• Condor (I can only take credit for some of it, of course)
  • condor_defrag
  • condor_ssh_to_job
  • Condor Job Router
  • Condor Rooster
  • Condor Shared Port
  • Condor Connection Broker (CCB)
  • Condor scalability
• CMS Farmout scripts
• condor_cmsRun
• Useful Hacks for condor.pm in OSG
• condor_suspend
• condor_usage
• JugMaster, database-driven compute-job managent system
• CMSJug [download] [live], scripts for doing CMS production with JugMaster
• KMProd [live], scripts for doing CMS trigger knowledge management production with JugMaster
• UML wrapper, for running compute-jobs in user-mode-linux
• dCache installer (out of date)
• machine test utility
• PSafe, save and retrieve passwords
