● Develops and maintains a 3D graphics and physics simulation with multiple human or computer-controlled participants on remote stations for testing and demonstrating company solutions to flight deck handling challenges in a hazardous military environment.● Assists other software engineers with the design and implementation of modular and distributed simulation backend components, and with user control device firmware.● Develops data collection and analysis software for evaluating simulation runs, improving flight deck handling processes, and stress testing user control hardware devices.Accomplishments● Designed and implemented a 3D graphics and physics simulation for modeling the recovery, taxiing, and launching of aircraft across the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in different weather and lighting conditions. The simulation was written in C#, XNA, and .NET with a client-server model that allows multiple participants to connect over TCP/IP with their own viewing station. The simulation can save and load recordings of previous runs, simulate mechanical failures, and load different scenarios over the network or from an XML file.● Supervised an intern with the implementation of a UDP packet handler, a safety-critical real-time communications system for aircraft, an emulator for an aircraft carrier radio network, and a P2P system for tracking lists of available aircraft and their custody status.● Designed and implemented control software for a portable accelerometer sensor array in ANSI C on a single-board computer using an I2C bus.

Job Responsibilities● Creates and maintains automated nightly production builds for six different codelines of theInformix family of database and database utility products on twelve different platforms.● Works with developers to resolve source control merge conflicts and build failures.● Works with quality assurance and manufacturing teams to provide finished builds and CDmasters for testing, scheduled releases, and client-requested patches and fix-packs.
