• Worked closely with LM program management on new business opportunities; most significant achievement was bringing in a large UAV ground station program• Presenting directly to LM customers on multiple high value programs and enhancements that were subsequently funded, implemented and fielded• Maintaining contract for 17+ years while LM policy emphasized performing as much work in-house as possible, typically using contractors only when necessary• Mentoring others as they start their own businessesLed, designed, implemented or supported activities in the following areas:• Lead Software Engineer/Architect for a fielded UAV mission planning system• Integrated a real-time auto-routing engine into the mission planning system• Mission planning system recognized by customer as critical to the successful deployment of the system• Frequent interaction with warfighter end users, providing prototypes for evaluation, and integrating prioritized user change requests into the fielded system on a regular basis• Designed FalconView-based UI for map-based direct manipulation of mission planning objects• Designed mission planning extensible plugin architecture supporting multiple air platforms.• Developed mission planning sensor, payload and vehicle control subsystems• Implemented Command & Control Touch Panel updates using Lua• Developed HUD enhancements based on F35 HMI standards• Designed and implemented an image exploitation system for viewing, enhancing and annotating imagery• Designed and developed multi-application, multi-process and multi-threaded applications• Developed image manipulation functions and a rapid interactive method to control real-time scaling, rotation, spatial filtering, and lookup table manipulation (i.e. brightness and contrast).• Developed multi-process application with a Java based UI control of multiple image exploitation windows (C++/Motif)• Identified defects and implemented fixes to KLV data in MPEG-2 transport stream

Contributed to many aspects of Intel’s first digital camera project, including:• Derived engineering requirements from product feature list• Led the user interface analysis and rapid prototyping effort• Recognized by program for excellence in user interface design based on a 3rd party UI evaluation• Developed Windows host application for interfacing with camera• Developed fully threaded user interface• Implemented image file format conversion software• Internationalized application for foreign export

Software development manager, lead designer and developer: • Led software team in developing automated pavement distress identification and classification system for AZ Department of Transportation.• Developed very-large-image display and visualization application optimized for rapid scaling, rotation, panning, dynamic brightness and contrast control, warping, mensuration, overlay of text and graphic annotations, and export of annotated images• Fielded an image exploitation workstation for analyzing SAR radar being operated by the US Customs Service surveillance office.• R&D project lead developing a common image exploitation application suite.• Co-authored document describing detailed user interface behavior for most commonly used image interpretation activities• Lead Engineer for Canadair CL-227 VTOL UAV live video capture and image exploitation workstation - Developed software solution to replace real-time image processing hardware suite, reducing workstation cost by $126K per unit; dramatically reducing software and system complexity• Developed user interface to monitor image quality from the SR-71 SAR radar• Rapid prototype for point and click mission planner for route planning and imagery collection, demonstrated at NATO conference

Developed system tests for SX 1100 (UNIX 5.2) FORTRAN f77 and C compiler products and graphic functions.
