Startup contract research.

As a student while attending BSC (now BSU), and now as an alumnus, I volunteer, providing teaching and lecture support to the atronomical observatory staff. Conduct public night observations sessions. Assist physics club students with amateur telescope making projects, observational technique, and undergraduate research.

Two of my three research projects were done for course credit. They involved Adrian Tinsley Program grant proposals, materials selection and ordering, and in one case, collaboration with external researchers. See, "Trypanothione reductase," and, "Blood Coagulation Cascade," above. Dr. Mancini was my research advisor on both projects. The third, "Fishing for Viral genes involved in Protein Synthesis," was with Dr. Marintcheva, and was an ATP summer grant for bioinformatics… Show more Two of my three research projects were done for course credit.

Provide amateur radio communications in case of emergecy.

During disasters or other emergencies, traffic, also called radiograms (telegrams passed at no charge via amateur radio frequencies) are used to communicate information critical to saving lives or property, or to inquire about the health or welfare of a disaster victim.www.nts.ema.arrl.orgwww.mmra.org

Founded and currently director for a local chess club open to all ages. Introductory lessons.

Consultative sales.

Founded a corporation providing technical services contracting to the electronics manufacturing industry.Timing was bad, as post September 11, 2001 there was a strong contraction in the market.

Netrix Corporation, 13595 Dulles Tech Drive, Herndon Virginia 22071 merged with NxNetworks.New product development included a blending of the corporate products into devices providing new internetworking and VoIP capabilities.Netrix later acquired by NSGDatacom. See: http://www.nsgdata.com/netrix/• Added supervisory responsibilities, Test Engineering department, Westborough site.

NxNetworks, Inc. was yet another marketing rebranding of OpenRoute and Proteon.Prior skills extended as follows:• Readied process and equipment for overseas deployment to Singapore manufacturing facility.• Anticipated requirements of new products resulting from upcoming corporate merger.• Deployed systems at Virginia contract manufacturer.• Reconstituted in-house manufacturing facility at previous site.

OpenRoute, Inc. was a rebranding of Proteon.Prior skills extended as follows:• Deployed process at additional New England contract manufacturers.• Relocated in-house manufacturing facility to a new site.• Specified and approved consultant projects.• Interviewed candidate test engineers.

• Certified Router Engineer.• Maintained and extended existing test equipment.• Proposed and implemented test equipment improvements.• Composed and revised detailed test procedures for both old and new products.• Undertook work flow analysis resulting in the global simplification of methodology.• Undertook work flow control resulting in quality improvements. • Communicated interdepartmentally.• Represented corporate interests.• Trained others as… Show more • Certified Router Engineer.• Maintained and extended existing test equipment.• Proposed and implemented test equipment improvements.• Composed and revised detailed test procedures for both old and new products.• Undertook work flow analysis resulting in the global simplification of methodology.• Undertook work flow control resulting in quality improvements. • Communicated interdepartmentally.• Represented corporate interests.• Trained others as required.As Test Engineer, I maintained existing test equipment, wrote detailed test procedures, designed, assembled, coded, debugged, deployed, maintained, and upgraded internet test equipment for new internet product manufacturing (e.g. switches, routers, NIC cards). Work flow analysis resulted in the implementation of barcode encoded work order specification, which also provided quality control checkpoints. Barcoded unit shipping labels were produced only on successful test completion and configuration to work order. Failure labels were printed with error description / diagnostic codes redirecting units to rework.Regarding human communications skills. Extensive interface with product hardware and software engineering, diagnostic development, configuration management, software quality assurance, ECO, RMA, and RTS departments was prerequisite to smooth manufacturing operations. Trained new employees from diverse backgrounds in the duties of test engineering. Trained manufacturing operators in the use of test procedures. Offsite contract manufacturers were frequently utilized, and were provided with the same equipment, procedures, maintenance, and training as in-house. Specified and approved consultant projects as required. Interviewed new candidates. Supported manufacturing, customer service, new product development, and corporate partnerships. Show less

Applications programmer involved in a diversity of team projects including order entry, account inquiry, order processing, time and attendance, and incentive payroll. Fileserver administrator for source code and monthly payroll backup. Created a shipping application for the divert, sortation, storage, and pull of large orders for drop shipment when complete, which involved RF LAN networking of portable barcode scanning handheld workstations.

Improved existing barcode label decode assembly routines with inkspread and wand acceleration corrections. New barcode decode routines implemented. Developed "Terminal Application Level Language," (TALL), a ROM-resident compiler similar to BASIC with kernal extensions particular to barcode readers. TALL was a major component of the LOGMARS military field logistics proposal. Team effort to port TALL to a C implementation to allow terminal application compilation on PCs.

Trendlines, offered by Standard & Poor, allowed investors to access online information about their portfolio before the widespread use of Compuserve. Created assembly language routines for high resolution graphics and printing, floating point calculations, disk access schema, data encryption, and modem-based telecommunications.
