Honorary Advisor - November 2019 - NOW: Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency (TNeGA), Chennai, India.

Distinguished Visiting Professor – August 2016 – NOW: School of Software, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Research Staff Member - December 1981 to May 1997: IBM Almaden Research Center (until 1986, named IBM San Jose Research Laboratory).

2017-2019: Founder, Chief Architect and Chief Designer of a project to add RDBMS capabilities to the blockchain system Hyperledger Fabric. Fabric currently supports only the NoSQL systems LevelDB and CouchDB as the state DBMS. Some prototyping has been done of 2 possible approaches to this RDBMS as state DBMS functionality. The first one involves only changes to the Fabric and can with limited functionality and performance support many RDBMSs. The more comprehensive and technically innovative work involves making changes to the innards of a RDBMS to support blockchain-oriented features. For this purpose, Db2 has been chosen as the system to modify. An associated product called Q Replication is also being modified for this purpose.

In addition to working on the above project, I also became an evangelist worldwide for promoting the practicality of private/permissioned blockchains in contrast to open/permissionless blockchain systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Since April 2017, when I gave my first blockchain talk publicly (i.e., a non-confidential talk outside of IBM) in Hong Kong, I have given conference, university and Meetup talks in 15 countries: China, USA, Germany, Canada, India, Singapore, France, Denmark, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Qatar, The Netherlands, UAE, Greece. More details on my blockchain talks, panels, interviews and other engagements can be found at https://bit.ly/CMtalks

2014-2017: Senior member of the project which produced the column store extensions to the DB2 LUW product. This resulted in the commercial release of DB2 with BLU Acceleration. Innovated on locking, recovery and storage management aspects of this project. Subsequent to the release of DB2 BLU, I worked on HTAP (Hybrid Transaction and Analytical Processing) extensions which were initially based on DB2 and more recently on Apache Spark. This work resulted in the IBM product announcement called Db2 Event Store in June 2017. This product became generally available in December 2017. During 2014, also worked on IDAA (IBM DB2 Analytics Appliance) extensions with IBMers in Boeblingen, Marlborough, Ottawa, Silicon Valley Lab (SVL) and Toronto.

2012-2013: Worked as the database leader on a NY Financial Industry customer project. The customer was planning to consolidate all their worldwide data centers into a primary center and a backup center, with a single special-purpose built, massive, high performance/availability database. I designed a hybrid object store and relational architecture for this. This was the first time that I worked very closely with IBM Global Business Services (GBS) and a customer over a lengthy period of time.

2009-2011: Founder and chief architect of the database management project on Storage Class Memories (SCM). This project explored the implications of byte-addressable nonvolatile memories on the architecture and design of database management systems.

2001-2004: Founder and technical team leader of the DBCache project whose goal was to improve performance in the middle tier of web-based applications by allowing caching of DB2 data from backend DB2s. In addition to applications running on WebSphere Application Server, application logic running on WebSphere Edge Server could also benefit from the caching functionality. Leader of the Almaden component of the multi-location Jetstream next generation messaging project. Coordinated the project with IBM Watson, IBM Hursley and IBM Austin.

2001-2006: Research relationship co-manager for WebSphere Runtime and High Volume Web Sites. In those roles, I was responsible for reviews of Research Division wide projects with the Vice-Presidents in the Application Integration Middleware (AIM) Division for the corresponding groups. I also played an active role in decision making regarding which Research projects got funded by AIM. 

2000-2014: Core member of the IBM Software Group Architecture Board (SWGAB). In this role, I acted as an interface between IBM's database groups and groups which work on WebSphere, MQSeries and other AIM products. I was also responsible for the end-to-end caching strategy across numerous IBM products. I was also playing an active role in the evolution of IBM's messaging, collaboration and workflow products. 

1996-2000: Founder and technical team leader of the Dominotes (Domino with Transactions and Enhanced Scalability) project whose goal was to enhance Lotus Domino/Notes's scalability, performance and recovery characteristics by introducing transactional recovery. This project was funded by Lotus Corporation which at that time was a subsidiary of IBM and it involved close collaboration with employees of Iris Associates (then a subsidiary of Lotus) which was responsible for the core development of Lotus Notes/Domino. The code developed in the Dominotes project was made available to customers in R5 of Lotus Domino/Notes.

1994-1996: Founder and technical team leader of the Exotica project on advanced transaction management and workflow systems. The aim of this project was to enhance IBM's FlowMark workflow product (now called MQSeries Workflow) and transaction products to provide support for advanced transaction management concepts. Several new architectural enhancements to FlowMark were explored and support for mobile clients was prototyped.

1986-1994: Founding member of the IBM Data Base Technology Institute (DBTI). It was my pioneering, highly successful joint work on ARIES (Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics) with Don Haderle of IBM's Santa Teresa Laboratory (STL) that led to the establishment of DBTI. Worked on concurrency control, recovery, commit protocols, index management, query optimization, active databases, architectural support for transaction processing, parallelism, remote-site backup, data sharing, distributed systems, lock avoidance, OODBMSs and client-server computing. Serving/served as a consultant and/or contributor of design and/or implementation to the following projects/products: all IBM RDBMS products (DB2/MVS (STL), SQL/DS, DB2 Common Server (Toronto), SQL/400 (Rochester)); Polaris (Watson); DRDA architecture; Message Queue Manager/ESA (Hursley); ADSTAR Distributed Storage Manager (ADSM; now called Tivoli Storage Manager, TSM), Workstation Data Save Facility/VM, Starburst, PDB (Almaden); VM Shared File System (Endicott); FlowMark (Boeblingen); DataLinks (Almaden); SNA LU6.2 architecture (Raleigh). Participated in task forces on distributed databases, locking, DB parallelism and Genesis HW DB assist.

1981-86: Member of the design and implementation teams of the R* relational distributed database management system and the Starburst extensible database management system. Worked on concurrency control, transaction commit protocols and logging, snapshots, deadlock detection and resolution, recovery, space management, index management and fault-tolerance. Implemented commit protocols, distributed deadlock detection and snapshot refresh in R*.
