Conducted integration of the first release of the Full Scale Development (FSD) Torpedo Mk50 Tactical Software. Conceived architecture for the tactical logic controller including design of the Tactics Design Language used for operational control of the torpedo mission. Developed overall mission control algorithms, implementing tactical and exercise performance requirements. Detailed design and code for the safety monitor and launch control software, using Ada as the program design language and CMS2 as the target language. Performed formal software verification and validation for the Advanced Development torpedo software (precursor to the FSD software). Defined requirements for Requirements to Test Tracking System, which used Ingress RDBMS to allow the user to specify links among various specification, design, and test documents. Developed formal documentation in accordance with MIL-STD-1679A, including Program Performance Specification (PPS), Program Design Specification (PDS), Test Plans (TPs), Test Procedures (TPRs), and Test Reports (TRs). Received award from Honeywell for work on the Mk50 program.

Developed real-time embedded software for the Materials Experiment Assembly (MEA), a Space Shuttle experiment which flew on STS-7. The MEA project involved open-loop control of three furnaces. The astronaut had only to power on the system and actuate a switch to begin a particular experiment. This software was written using an application-specific language targeting a custom 8080-based microcomputer with 32K bytes of PROM and 16K bytes or RAM. Specified requirements for data reduction software and designed the data recording software. Performed formal verification and validation of the flight software, including environmental testing. Developed real-time, man-in-the-loop ground-based furnace test software targeting a Z80-based microcomputer running CP/M for the MEA project, as well as post-test data processing / analysis software. Participated in NASA Professional Intern Program. Received NASA awards for work on the MEA project.

On contract to NASA, performed data analysis software development for the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) project. Supervised work of 5 production coordinators. Received NASA Silver Snoopy award.
