Curriculum Vitae: Richard J Moore Last updated: 06/06/15 at 15:54:03 Richard J Moore BSc Pure Mathematics (Special Hons, Kingston upon Hull), CEng, CITP, FIET, FBCS Job Title: IBM Mainframe Firmware and zVM Hypervisor Development Engineer PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY Richard works for the IBM Endicott Lab on projects connected with the System z mainframe hypervisor and is a member of IBM's Academy of Technology. He is in his 36th year in the IT Industry and 31st year with IBM. He has worked with IBM's Development, Support and Sales Organizations, throughout his career, always in an engineering capacity that combines performance and problem analysis with system design and development. Richard's engineering experience spans a broad spectrum of operating systems and firmware that run on system ranging from microprocessors to the highend mainframes. He was recently assigned to the IBM mainframe engineering team to work on the processor microarchitecture. In these areas he has published a number of invention disclosures. A significant aspect of Richard's expertise concerns the characteristics of IT systems that make them robust enough for commercial use in safety and missioncritical deployment. The mitigation of risk caused by potential and actual systems failure has resulted in a number of his innovations being applied to IBM's product offerings and the Linux kernel. He has considerable expertise in the practical issues associated with running a successful team of globally dispersed engineers. Richard is frequently invited to speak at conferences, give lectures and talks to IBM customers. During the period in which he was actively working on Linux kernel development he was invited to speak on numerous occasions. Examples include: Keble College Oxford; Reykajvík University; Ottawa Linux Symposium; Atlanta Linux Symposium; FOSDEM; GUIDE; Linux Tag; LinuxCon Prague; UKUUG, USENIX. Richard is involved in educational establishments as a STEM ambassador, an instrumental music teacher and has also been a visiting fellow at Southampton Solent University where he assisted with mathematics tuition for engineering students. He is a fellow of the British Computer Society and the Institution for Engineering and Technology. He serves on the operations committee of the IET Solent Network and was the previous chair for the Solent Network.
