EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Worked in technology group. My duties were to create a network management package to support a wireless ISP network. The system included:

• Software to collect system information via SNMP and store it it into RRDTOOL databases.
• Software to generate graphed images of the stored data.
• HTML and CGI scripts to display the graphs via the web.

All work was done in Perl, RRDTOOL, and HTML on FreeBSD systems running Apache servers.

Worked in IS development group. All work was done in C on Sparc stations, using Oracle SQL, Motif and DBUIMX GUI builder. My duties included:

• Designing and coding new financial interface components for Putnam traders
• Modifying and maintaining old interface code.

Worked in IS group. All work was done in Perl and FORTRN. My duties included:

• Porting large scientific FORTRAN source base and supporting shell scripts from Apollo platform to NT.

Worked in the Digital debugger group. All work was done in C++. My duties included:

• Debugging problems in the old Digital Ladebug debugger.
• Providing input in design meetings for a new debugger interface.
• Evaluating Java as a possible front-end for a new debugger interface.
• Writing functional, and design specifications, in HTML, for a new debugger.
• Coding initial prototype classes and methods for new client-server debugger interface for the DEC-ALPHA platform.

I was the sole designer and coder of the first commercial version of the software package known today as IconAuthor for UNIX platforms. IconAuthor is an extensive Motif/X-Windows GUI which enables non-programmers to create interactive, multimedia computer presentations, computer-based training and slide shows. In addition, IconAuthor leads the industry in cross-platform and internationalized portability. Initially, my responsibilities included everything from coding to customer and sales support to trade shows. Some technical highlights include:

• An object-oriented graphics editor, which required various image processing algorithms for scaling, cropping and color-remapping graphics ect...
• A PC Windows GUI emulator Windows MDI for all Motif platforms.
• Designed and coded multiple X host support for IconAuthor runtime engines and all the implied "special" event processors and Xvisual code to make that happen.
• Developed specialized X-color library which allows users to run their color- intensive Motif applications in separate X colormap that won t interfere with the colors of their desktop windows. It also allows them to effectively "lock" the X colors that are allocated by their application so that they do not suffer a color palette "shift" when displaying multiple graphic images, simultaneously, on machines that support only a single hardware colormap.
• Designed and wrote a Smart Object Editor which allows users to create customized Motif front-ends for their IconAuthor applications.
• Designed and coded all original editors and device drivers for "live" and digitized video as well as audio play-back and recording.
• Wrote UNIX "pipe" and "socket" bsd code to allow the runtime-delivery engine and various other multimedia pieces to run in a ?Client/Server? model.
• Wrote X-Window recorder and play-back applications.
• Ported IconAuthor package to the majority of the ten different hardware platforms and fifteen separate operating systems that it now runs on.
• Currently, I am listed as one of the key engineers involved in the US government-funded project TRP Technical Reinvestment Project . The primary scope of TRP is to develop a technology that will deliver, high- quality, low-cost, multimedia-based tools, applications and training materials over the internet and World Wide Web WWW network servers for the educational and business communities.
• Responsible for all aspects of team up to 6 members , product and project management.

• Wrote and maintained firmware for a 68000 chip which performed binary data transfers of code segments from host computers to program memory within an array processor.
• Modified the code to allow multiple AP applications to run simultaneously through a time-sliced / resident memory swapper process.
• Wrote and maintained various other DMA transfer engines and utilities.

• Wrote network server and database demeon that was used to track the complete history of all computer boards and related components made by Turtle.
• Wrote communication software that batched all database data "up" from the Turtle Domain network to the main HP3000 and then automatically updated the primary Ask-Manman manufacturing database.
• Wrote graphics code to generate barcodes for all packaging in warehouses.
• Wrote all device drivers for all bar-code devices used at Turtle.
• Designed and setup the complete bar-code tracking system used in Turtle warehouses, board assembly plants and repair facilities.
