Have developed entire consumer based Windows software application products and possess advanced Windows programming skills (Applications, Device Drivers, VXDs, etc.). In addition, possess solid experience in complete system development of computer based hardware ranging from mixed-signal multimedia systems (including associated control/user-application software) to specialized data acquisition systems. Technical Summary Software - Languages & Tools C, C++, Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, Intel 286/386/486 Assembler, FORTRAN, IBM 370 Assembler, Motorola 68000 Assembler, Data Base (dBase3, dBase4, FoxPro, Clipper), CodeBase, SQL, Orcad, PGA CASE Tools, Icon-Author Authori ng Software, High & Low Level Debuggers, MSWord, Desktop Publishing, etc. Software Operating Systems (Programmed Under) and Programming Specialties Windows (Windows3.1x, Windows95, NT) Both Standard SDK and MFC, Applications, Installable/MCI/Standard Device Drivers, Advanced Virtual Device Drivers, DLLs, DDE, ODBC, OLE, TCP/IP (some), Network APIs/Provider Development (some) DOS Applications, Device Drivers SCO UNIX, VAX VMS, IBM MVS Hardware - Computers IBM Mainframes, PCs, Digital VAX, HP1000, Other Military Systems Hardware Engineering Programmable Logic Devices (PGAs), Encoder/Decoder Circuitry, High Speed DA/AD Circuitry, Test and Instrumentation Systems, Fiber Optic/LASER Systems, Real Time Data Acquisition, Simulation Systems, Embedded Processors, Computer Video Graphics, Computer based video/audio/multimedia circuitry (digital and analog), Extensive Experience in Mixed Signal Design (digital & analog on same board) Experience 1990 - Present 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.
