Helped Design and Develop core print architecture that formed the basis for the Universal Print Driver. o Responsible for the font print path through the driver. o First core driver built for Windows version 3 print drivers. First supported on Windows 2000. o Core UI design and functionality still being used on Windows 10. o Developed in C++ using Object Oriented Design principles. o Developed a tool to convert True Type device fonts to UFM Fonts for inclusion in our installer package. Reverse engineered the UFM Font file in order to develop this tool. The tool was developed in C++.Helped develop HP’s first version 3 print driver for Windows 2000. o Worked directly at Microsoft in Redmond, WA with HP and Microsoft Engineers. o Driver was developed in C++ using Object Oriented Design. o Responsible for developing the User Interface and integrating into the version 3 Microsoft print driver architecture.
