Innovative Scientific Concepts
Hardware & Software Development Engineer
Designed and developed an entire Windows based software application
product used to protect the modem on a computer from undesired usage.
Wrote entire user application in addition to VXD level code to provide
extensive low-level interaction and virtualization of operating system
features. Visual C++, Intel 386 Assembler, DLLs, VXDs, Windows 3.1x,
Windows95, Windows NT, DOS.
Designed and developed an entire MS Windows based software application
product that interacts with the operating system and transforms a
single-user PC into a multi-user interface. Software embodied special
features to provide an advanced file security system that can be used
to restrict access to specified files, programs or entire directories.
Providing these features required extensive research of the internals
of the low-level Virtual Machine and main-level functionality of the
Windows (and DOS) operating system in addition to intense object
oriented software development. Visual C++, Visual Basic, Intel 386
Assembler, DLLs, VXDs, DDE, Windows 3.1x, Windows95, DOS, Data Base,
SQL, CodeBase, ODBC, TCP/IP, Network APIs.
Designed and developed an advanced IBM PC based digital video
multimedia system. Technical work consisted of all-phases-development
of a multi-technology mixed-signal (digital&analog) circuit board and
all of the MS Windows based User-Application and Device Driver software
required to operate and control the working product. Extensive
development using the latest in-circuit-programmable gate arrays, DSP
fundamentals, and enhancements to current digital video software models
made implementation of the product's special features possible.
Hardware development included Dig&Anlg Audio, Dig&Anlg Video, Custom
PGA Digital Circuits, Logic Minimization, Computer Graphics Circuits,
Video Encoder Circuitry (computer graphics-to-analog video), Bus
Interface, Orcad, Mixed Signal Debugging, High Speed Mixed Signal
Design. Software development included Visual C++, Intel 386 Assembler,
DLLs, VXDs, Windows Installable & MCI Device Drivers, Digital Video
Capture Drivers, Windows 3.1x, MFC, DOS.
1989 - 1990
Xerox Systems Development
Software Consulting Engineer
Worked on software applications for peripheral laser printer control on
IBM mainframe computers. Work included developing and testing new
software (IBM System 370 assembler, FORTRAN) that provides the means by
which a host IBM mainframe computer communicates, implements
sophisticated publishing features and controls the actual printer
hardware. Gained experience in centralized and de-centralized LASER
printers and IBM 3090 processor hardware and Multiple Virtual Machine
software architecture in addition to XEROX laser printer systems.
1987 - 1989
Lockheed Space Operations Company
Electrical Design Engineer
Designed fiber-optic transmission systems, developed testing and design
software, engineered fabrication methods, and designed facility for
installation. Highlights include: designed and debugged ECL pseudo
random data encoder/decoder circuits, PGA logic circuits for embedded
automatic testing of fiber optic transmission system, wrote simulation
software (IBM PC, FORTRAN), performed presentations and lead design
efforts of project.
1984 - 1987
General Electric Company
Electronic Design Engineer
Developed support systems for telemetry monitoring of guidance systems
for military equipment. Major area of work in complex logic and state
machines, microprocessor-based control systems and associated software.
Highlights include: developed digital circuitry using programmable
logic to de-commutate, interface, multiplex and distribute incoming
missile guidance system telemetry data, designed interactive control
panels, wrote embedded controller assembly language (MultiBus 68000)
and high level data stripping programs (VAX 11/750 VMS FORTRAN).
Managed entire scope of projects assigned including giving design
presentations and performing liaison functions to the customer.
