Develop software for OpenGL based software tool kitCurrently, Scrum Master of an eight person team tasked with improving the performance of rendering engine. Ensured that team member stayed on track for their deliverables and that stakeholders are aware of the progress of the deliverables. Prototyped the following and assisted team with implementation: Improved light point rendering by x5Improved tree (batch) rendering performance by x3-4Eliminated draw spikes due texture allocations. Upgraded OpenGL version used by rendering engine to OpenGL 3.1Added support for AMD/ATI and Intel GPUsSubject Matter Expert of rendering engine, and supporting technology - OpenGL, GLSL shaders. Provided design advice to visualization team for all rendering features. Provided estimates for new features and prototype approaches.Implemented dynamic shadows.Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IE9Ie7F6ao White paper: http://www.presagis.com/files/whitepapers/Shadow_Mapping_in_High_Performance_Visual_Simulation-FINAL.pdfImplemented a morphing terrain mesh rendering approach to improve cull performance as well as rendering performance of multiple LOD terrain system (Morphing Smart Mesh) in a cross product team. This was a high profile features as it was a large part of the company’s vision for all products to work together in a suite.Was part of the team that develop an infrastructure that auto generated shaders based on OpenGL state and optional shader techniques. Responsibilities include the design and implementation of the weaver, the portion of the system that merged the individual pieces of the shader together. Using this infrastructure, I developed shader techniques for bump, light, alpha, light materials, and reflection maps.

Developed software to monitor and control earth based satellite station equipment, such as power amplifiers, up and down converters, LNAs, UPS, etc. Debugged and repaired major show-stopper problems for several projects. Turned around the General Dynamics’ Swallow project (two year old project at the time) in one month while onsite in Japan. Accomplished by resolving multi-processor, multi thread stability issues with thread safe resource locking. I re-instilled customer confidence in the project. Other projects included memory allocation bug in DirecTV LABC software, and COM port failure in DirecTV Latin America software.Designed and implemented new features in software, including SNMP support to create custom MIBs for each customer’s unique site and a pass thru TCP/IP interface to allow third party software to access devices directly. I developed configuration management system using Perl and Visual Basic to control versioning and releases of software. This system improved quality of the delivered software and reduced bugs. Designed and implemented an exception logging architecture into the software to allow customer and M&C Systems technicians to better report bugs to software engineers.I performed testing and software trouble shooting both by telephone and onsite with customers and company personnel. These sites included both overseas and domestic sites.

Granted secret clearance for work at L-3 CommunicationsWorked on two research team, the first which examine ported an encryption key management system (LCMS, a SCO UNIX based application) to a web-based platform. The second was moving the encryption key management system to a distributed network model with multiple client applications connecting to a single Oracle database.I worked on two phases of development for encryption key generator, KP, an embedded stand-alone encryption device. Responsibilities include design, implementation, and testing of firefly re-keying, privilege system upgrading to handle foreign key processing, platform national awareness, foreign key reconciliation, and code maintenance.
