Turning Point Software was acquired and the new company became Vanteon. Shortly after the acquisition, I was promoted to Director of the Boston Development Center. I was responsible for the P/L. I was responsible for ensuring there were enough projects in the pipeline. I also worked with other development centers to share resources to complete the committed projects.

I was promoted to Director of Engineering for successfully demonstrating my ability to deliver successful projects and mentor engineers. I was responsible for reviewing designs for new projects. I was responsible for attending sales calls to show case our technical expertise and assess the technical feasibility of potential projects. I also represented a client during a technical due diligence meeting with a venture capitalist. I was responsible for insuring code reviews were conducted on projects.

I was promoted to Project Manager after demonstrating the ability to work with customers to solidify their requirement, design and make it into a product. I continued as Project Manager on the MicroTouch Ibid project to enhance the features in subsequent versions. I was then assigned a project to work with Agfa to define testing and diagnostic software for their commercial imagesetters. The project was a lot of requirements from various groups. I worked with a contact point at Agfa to turn this project into a detailed design. The project cost was beyond the budget so I worked with Agfa to come up with a feature set that was within budget. The project was a $600k fixed cost development effort that was delivered on time and under cost. The project was involved rendering high quality 3600 DPI images and implementation of a scripting language so Agfa could write and script tests. The project was successfully transitioned to Agfa after the development and testing was completed.

I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer for skills and contributions on assigned projects. I continued working on the MicroTouch electronic whiteboard project, Ibid. I was a key developer on the project and brought it from prototype to a shipping product. During this time, I worked closely with MicroTouch to define the features for the initial and subsequent versions of software. I mentored other developers assisting on the project during this development period. All the work was doing in Window using C/C++.

I worked on various software development projects. The initial project was working a rescue of a banking application for State Street Bank. The project did was a lot of buggy and crashing code written in C++ for Windows. I was the solo developer on this project and cleaned up the crashes and implemented the functionality to match what was defined in the specification. I presented to the team from State Street bank and successfully transitioned the project to them. I worked on a couple small assignments for other projects. I was then assigned to a new project to help work on the design study for software that controlled an electronic whiteboard for MicroTouch. The design was accepted and I was part of the project team. The software was written in C++ for Windows using touch screen glass ad the prototype whiteboard. I was responsible for the UI implementation as well as receiving the data from the driver and drawing it on the screen.

I was part of the Research and Development team that was working on internal tools to simplify data access to the massive, for that time, data set of people. The tools developed in in R&D would be utilized internally and if they proved to simplify and increase productivity, they would be offered to Epsilon's customers. I spent most of my time in the company working on a natural language query interface so user could search the data with simple or compound sentences. I also worked on a data visualization module for segmenting data returned in from queries. All work was done in C/C++ (MFC) for Windows.

The company was a value added reseller of parts, software and service. I wrote and maintained an internal application that would digest the catalog data from different wholesalers that our sales representatives would use to search for parts and find the best pricing for their customers. The software was written for Windows using C.

After getting my B.S. while working full time, I was promoted to Software Engineer and transferred to another group. I worked on a Department of Defense contract for Weapons System Management Information Systems to implement new features and maintain a PC based version of the mainframe logistics system to predict parts to deploy to complete a mission. This software was used by the Air Force during Operation Desert Storm, allowing the Air Force to have enough parts to maintain the aircraft so the mission could be completed successfully. The software was written in Pascal and C running on MS-DOS.I was also asked on a parallel effort to move the DOS based software to Windows. There as a team assigned and the marketing manager was not sure they could do it. He asked me to use Visual Basic to implement the project. I completed the development before the other team, but since it was VB 1.0 the performance was too slow and I was assigned to help the other team writing the project in C. I was assigned a parallel project that was already under development by a team up people writing it in C and Windows. The team was Cobol programmers trying to learn C and Windows to complete the project. My manager asked if I would be willing to learn Visual Basic do a parallel project to that team. I was able to implement the entire project using Visual Basic completely before the team completed.I worked on a contract for Department of Defense to implement and maintain a battle field logistics system for the US Army readiness. This system was used determine the unit's solider level supplies needed while they were on a mission in the battlefield. This ensured they entire unit had was was needed to complete the mission. This software was written in C for MS DOS.

I worked on a Department of Defense contract for Weapons Systems Management Information Systems to build a logistics system for the Air Force. The purpose of the system is to determine required parts to deploy so the aircraft could complete the required missions on deployment. The prediction was made based on models of part failures and cannibalization of parts from grounded aircraft. I wrote and maintained various scripts for the Honeywell Mainframe system using JCL. Minor bug fixes were assigned to me on occasion in COBOL modules.
