Microsoft Corporation Redmond, WA
November 1998 – June 2000
Software Development Lead – Exchange Protocols Group
• Project Introduction: Local Store - Local Store is one of the key huge features for Office 10 that’s currently under development in Microsoft. It provides storage for e-mail, documents, discussions, contacts, video and audio streams based on the latest Exchange Store technology. The technology is extended to support transparent caching and replication of data to and from individual servers through pluggable protocol infrastructure. Key goals include great user online/offline experience, configurable connection and replication semantics, and protocol extensibility.
• Lead the design and development of many important Local Store components and features. This includes scheduler, online/offline support, cache and replication, offline always with synchronization, Windows 9x and NT4 support, aging, locking support, incremental download, SyncNow with progress reporting, conflict and error reporting, logging support, and many more.
• Several Local Store related patents under draft in the following areas due to tremendous design effort: offline operation merging, conflict and error reporting, offline playback. (See Patents below)
• Drove Local Store to the very first successful PUM and VP demo in May 1999 as well as subsequent milestone release including MM1 in September 1999 and MM2/code-completein in March 2000. This includes designing and building the basic architecture for state-transition scheduler and interfaces that laid the foundation for entire Local Store project, triaged daily bugs and proposing effective solution for bugs, worked closely with PM, test team, and build team to ensure full understanding of features, full test coverage, and on time build releases.
• Actively involved in Local Store design and product definition. Played important role in designing and defining features with Local Store customers including Outlook 10, Office Designer and other feature teams like Store, OLEDB, IFS.
• Wrote detail design spec and drove design and inter-dependency issues for local store components. Spec’ed out detail project schedule for developers beyond my direct reports. Scheduled and drove many rounds of project braind storm meetings.
• Manage direct reports as well as other developers beyond direct reports on many development areas. Set direction and priority. Audit checkin’s by doing extensive code-review and code brain storm. Encourage solid programming practice among all project developers.
• Project Introduction: Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 NNTP, Exchange Win32/IFS - NNTP is a Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) service developed in the Exchange group. The NNTP stack is designed to ship as part of Windows 2000 Enterprise. A pluggable storage driver is designed to hook into Exchange 2000 Store that enables the rich storage features for NNTP. Exchange IFS is a NT-kernel based Installable File System. It provides native NT file handle support for protocols like NNTP, SMTP, HTTP-DAV, IMAP, etc. through Exchange Store and the underlying JET engine. Exchange WebStorage provides native NT file system support for accessing Exchange Storage by implementing user/kernel mode reflection with IFS.
• Promoted development lead for Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 NNTP in November 1998. Lead full design and development efforts for both versions of NNTP and W2K OCM Setup for NNTP/SMTP stack. Successfully shipped W2K NNTP and W2K NNTP/SMTP OCM Setup on Dec. 15, 1999.
• Responsible for all NNTP development and program manager issues with external teams including Windows 2000 OCM development team, IIS, NNTP Admin team, Exchange Store, SMTP/Transport, POP3/IMAP, OLEDB/ DAV, and other supporting teams. Made feature trade-off decisions based on schedule and priority. Maintained low bug counts through the entire development circle.
• Built the basic pluggable driver model for W2K NNTP and Exchange 2000 NNTP. Designed and implemented key NNTP features in W2K NNTP stack and NNTP drivers. Implement Exchange IFS features Add/SetVolumnInfo, Set/GetFileAttribute, GetFreedDiskSpace in NT kernel. Added the following features to both NNTP and Win32: load balancing for LOGON cache, Store sync event support, private LOGON and multiple MDB support. Multiple search key support for MDB object, lazy cache initialization, etc.

Successfully merged NNTP Store driver and Exchange Win32 DLL into the same code base. This was recognized as one of the most important piece of work in the milestone by upper management.
• Responsible for the entire W2K OCM setup for both NNTP/SMTP stack. Implemented all major features and worked closely with Windows 2000 and IIS OCM setup developers on inter-dependency and compatibility issues. Made significant contributions to various W2K NNTP/SMTP stack beta releases as well as Exchange beta releases.
• Solely responsible for fixing NNTP services bugs and setup bugs in IIS NT4 Option Pack and MCIS 2.0. Help shipped NNTP and SMTP/POP/IMAP in both releases.
