Practical Print Server
New CTO, Project Manager for New York City Network's Successful
Y2K Remediation, To Oversee Intranet Portal's Development
StudentOnline.com announced today the appointment of Donald
Feinberg, developer of the CD-ROM and former project manager
of the New York City Network's successful Y2K remediation
efforts, as chief technology officer for the intranet portal
company. In his new position, Feinberg will oversee the building
of Student Online.com's infrastructure and will be involved
in overall product development.
Over
his 30-year career, Feinberg has been responsible for a wide
range of high-profile projects. Just recently, he was project
manager for the Y2K remediation of New York City's Data Network
and Internet and Intranet servers, helping the nation's largest
city make a smooth transition to the Year 2000. He also performed
a complete redesign of the second largest private telecommunications
network in the world. In addition, over the last three years,
Feinberg has redesigned and implemented e-commerce Web portals
for several public and private clients.
Led Development of CD-ROM and First Print Server
From 1976 to 1996, Feinberg was at Digital Equipment Corporation
as a Software Engineering Manager where he led the teams that
developed the CD-ROM and the first practical print-server.
He also independently proposed and participated in the implementation
of Digital's business development strategy for Eastern Europe
which helped the company capitalize on that emerging market.
Before joining Digital in 1976, Feinberg held systems programming
positions with a number of companies including Spacetac, Inc.,
which, in 1972, launched the first microprocessor into space,
and Sanders Associates, a firm that was later acquired by
aerospace giant Lockheed Martin.
"We're
thrilled to have someone of Don's obvious talent and expertise
join our development team," said StudentOnline CEO, Sunil
Deshmukh. "His creativity in systems design and his experience
in resolving huge undertakings such as the New York City Network's
Y2K remediation will be important assets to StudentOnline.
He will be key to the company's ability to anticipate and
meet the technology needs of the higher education market."
