At C3, I was in charge of day to day operations as well as consulting with clients. My main responsibility was translating the customer’s needs from a business schema to a software engineering schema. I, then, would oversee the coding and completion of the product and consult with the client regarding implementation.

At mJobTime, I received calls directly from clients that were experiencing issues with our software. Using a multitude of tools, I walked the user through an appropriate solution – either retraining the client or passing a bug report to the coding team. I also helped start a side project to migrate our software from VB6 to C#.

While working under the limited supervision of the chair of the Electrical Engineering department, Dr. Harley Myler, at Lamar University, I developed an omnidirectional, ultra-wideband antenna that could switch, in real time, between GPS, cell phone, FM radio, XM radio, AM radio, TV stations, and other broadcasting satellite frequencies. This was an effort to provide a geopositioning solution that didn’t have a single point of failure.
