1998 – 2000

Sr. Software Engineer GeoPerception, Inc. San Diego, CA

Developed software for GeoPerception's Personal Pilot, a wearable computing product combining ActiveX, 3D graphics, and DGPS processing (Microsoft Visual C++ 5, Windows 95 and Windows NT).

Created a medical instrument prototype used as a marketing and sales tool (VisualBasic 5, VC++ 6, Windows NT).

Technical lead for the Glomar Explorer dynamic positioning control system. COM and ActiveX technologies were used extensively to modularize the project into reusable components. Interfaces included analog/digital IO, serial communications, TCP/IP communications, and A-B PLCs.

Developed software for a vessel simulator, simulating and interfacing all external events (wind, current, power system, thruster feedbacks, …) to the dynamic positioning system. (Windows NT, MFC, ActiveX, COM, Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0, Borland C++ 4.x).

Worked with a team of five programmers replacing UI and graphics code to take advantage of a platform-independent GUI builder by Neuron Data using Object Oriented Design. Responsible for development and maintenance of a high-level operating system interface package for all platforms we supported (SUN, HP, SGI, Windows NT). Ported a large Windows product (million lines of code) to Unix using a Windows emulator (MainWin by MainSoft). Also developed all low-level OS interface code required.

Led a team of two in developing a programming environment for SUN, HP, SGI, and Windows NT. Adapted Windows product to Windows NT and Windows 32S, using a new compiler (VC++) and overcoming the challenges of using custom controls with Microsoft Windows 32S. Created the initial development environment using Windows 3.0 and Borland 3.0. Developed and maintained User Interface and Graphics code in C++ and Object Oriented Programming.

Project leader of three for a port to Ultrix of another CAD product (Prime Design). Graphics programming using PHIGS on Sun workstations running Unix. Enhanced and debugged the solid modeling capabilities of an existing product (DDM).

Developed experimental user interface code using DecWindows UIL and X-Windows graphics programming.

Specified the design of Graphics, UI, and development environment requirements, for a future CAD product as a member of a 20 person team.

Technical project leader of nine people on the DDM (Calma’s CAD/CAM product)/Graphicon 700 integration project.

Led three programmers in adding support for a new graphics device. VAX/VMS system administrator. Data General system and graphics programmer using Assembly language and FORTRAN.

Lead software engineer designing and leading two people in the implementation of a raster interface for a solid geometric modeling program supporting a numerical control tape verification project.

Provided support to CAD/CAM department in interactive computer graphics and finite element analysis.
