C++ development with Qt.

Milpitas, Ca

Ported Windows GUI application from MFC to wxWidgets, so the same code could be built for both Windows and Linux deployment. Fixed bugs and made minor tweaks/enhancements.

• Worked on patient records processing system for use in medical vehicles, setting up hardware components and fixing C++ software defects using MS Visual Studio and Qt Designer.• Upgraded C++ network analyzer application to persist program settings in XML database using Qt libraries.• For Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicle program, wrote Visual Basic script to take interfaces stored in Rational Rose UML model and generate C++ test stub that could be configured to simulate any software subsystem on the vehicle.• Modeled C++ software interface classes in UML and used to create sequence and activity diagrams to illustrate system and subsystem use case behavior.• Developed and tested embedded C++ vehicle management application running on LynxOS RTOS, using RTI NDDS and ORBexpress for interprocess communication.• Ported MFC C++ diagnostic software from M88A2 to M88A1 (Hercules recovery vehicles). Improved maintainability of code by making volatile data configurable.• Developed C++ GUI using GTK+ toolkit from scratch in Linux for stimulating Ground Combat Vehicle software subsystem test interfaces.• Developed embedded battery string controller software on Atmel AVR Atmega64L microcontroller with WinAVR cross compiler Eclipse plugin.

Dr. Joseph Grimes' and Dr. Hugh Smith's Computer Networks courses, Dr. Art MacCarley's Microprocessor Lab• Wrote and graded quiz and exam questions, tested and graded C program assignments. • Ran weekly networks lab session which included a brief lecture followed by a lab assignment.• Created new website for the Center for Teaching and Learning using Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe Photoshop/ImageReady.

• Wrote a Perl script for extracting comments from C code. • Produced templates for decoding network messages with a Spectra I-Net system.
