Professional Software Architecture And Development

For the last 16 years I have been designing and developing commercial software and automated systems.  As a contract engineer I engaged in a wide variety of projects, often under challenging deadline conditions.  Since all of my software was to be passed on to in-house engineers for follow-up and maintenance, I was careful to adhere to high standards of object-oriented design and software engineering.  Most of my software went into production, and much of it is still in use.  My most significant achievements include:

• 1999-2005. The MVVT Automated System.  I designed and led the implementation of an integrated set of websites and databases to automate the MVVT administration.  This automation allowed an 86% reduction in MVVT administrative staff. 
• 1995-1998.  MCI Telecommunications Software.  Designed, developed and patented network software in both the Windows NT and UNIX environments, including a major patented TCP/IP application involving Unix sockets: “TCP/IP-Based Client Interface to Network Information Distribution System Servers,” US Patent 6,263,370 (2001).
• 1994-1997.  Graphics Applications.  Character generator and associated graphical character displays in English and Chinese for a touch screen virtual keypad.  These are used in LeFebure ATM machines both in the U.S. and in China.  I implemented a similar virtual keypad for embedding in Norand hand-held devices used by delivery drivers.  The LeFebure displays also involved graphical animation.
• 1993-1994.  Collins Avionics.  I worked on a number of components for the cockpit software for the Boeing 777.  This was an extremely high-pressure assignment.  I was brought in to enable Collins to meet a critical deadline for Boeing.  (This work was credited with salvaging the $100+ million Boeing contract.)
