Dirk Tobold Bergstrom

Experience

• Netflix, Inc.    ::    Senior Software Engineer    ::    2009 - Present

  UI, dashboarding and metrics for the "Watch Instantly" encoding pipeline.

• Juniper Networks, Inc.    ::    Senior Tools Engineer    ::    2000 - 2009

  Conception, design, coding, testing and enhancement of tools to support the JUNOS™ software development organization. My applications, which serve thousands of satisfied daily users across the company, include the following:
  • A software development dashboard that collects bug, feature and release information, runs it through a rules engine, and shows users the issues they should focus on. Also serves as a metrics platform, reducing the need for ad hoc reports and the unfortunate practice of mailing around spreadsheets of stale data. 1000 unique users and 30K hits per month.
    (Java, Python, Django, Drools, jQuery, Struts 2)
  • A web UI for an in-house version of the GNATS bug-tracking system, laden with shiny web-2.0 goodness. Includes a stand alone Python API for GNATS, which is employed in several other projects. 3800 unique users and 600K hits per month.
    (Python, Django, jQuery)
  • A system to track trends in development metrics. Also functions as a "wayback machine" for bug and feature data, making it possible to see release status at any date in the past, and retroactively compile trend data for new metrics. Built for and used by a limited audience.
    (Python, Django, MySQL)
  • Instrumentation for the developer build system to gather statistics on every aspect of the user experience. Provides automated reports, both tabular and graphical, using rrdtool and custom code. Used by the tools team to improve the developer build experience.
    (Python, shell, MySQL, RRDtool)

• Juniper Networks, Inc.    ::    IT Applications    ::    1999 - 2000

  Managed internal and external websites, search engines and authentication systems. Wrote various CGI programs, worked on an in-house-developed CRM system, and generally did anything and everything that came my way as the company expanded wildly during the dot com boom.

• SRI International    ::    Webmaster    ::    1997 - 1999

  Responsible for server administration, content creation and site architecture for the SRI top-level intranet and internet sites. Worked directly with senior management on staff communication projects.
  
  • Designed, implemented and maintained SRI's corporate intranet site.
  • Set up browser-based content management for frequently updated content.
  • Wrote utilities for web site administration.

• SRI International    ::    Information Specialist    ::    1994 - 1997

  Provided chemical, scientific and business information from online, print and other sources to SRI scientists and consultants.
  

• Nycomed Salutar, Inc.    ::    Chemist    ::    1991 - 1994

  Researched pharmaceuticals for enhancing the diagnostic efficacy of x-ray techniques; trained as an online information specialist.

• Catalytica Associates, Inc.    ::    Chemist    ::    1989 - 1991

  Conducted applied research on strong acid mediated conversion of natural gas to gasoline. Burned holes in all my favorite shirts.
