* Design and develop the open source NeXT Byte Codes (NBC) and Not eXactly C (NXC) compilers for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT programmable brick. The compilers support Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. (http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/)* Design and develop several open source utilities for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT programmable brick. These include a program decompiler, a sound file converter, a remote NXT screen viewer for group presentations, and a MIDI-to-NXT Melody file converter.* Design and develop an IDE (Bricx Command Center) for programming LEGO robots. This extremely popular open source tool enables thousands of programmers around the world to learn and use more advanced programming languages to program robots they design and build themselves. (http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/)* Built an alternate NXT firmware using C containing several bug fixes and enhancements.* Member of the MINDSTORMS Developer Program and; Built GNU Pascal cross-compiler for Hitachi H8/300 and ported brickOS C & C++ headers to enable programming the LEGO RCX brick in Pascal (and using BricxCC as the IDE).* Programmed a Folio Infobase utility using Delphi which automates adding reference information into the plain-text Flat File format for inclusion in a completed Infobase.* Programmed a web forum browser utility using Delphi and low-level HTTP messaging.

* Write MVC 4 webAPI service layer for REST web service interface for Aspect Performance Management rewrite. Write thin client front end using MVC alongside Knockout and JQuery plus AJAX/JSON. Write WCF service layer wrapping calls to workforce management web services. Write SSIS packages to call WCF services for loading data into performance management data warehouse. Use dependency injection and inversion of control patterns with Unity and Rhino Mocks for unit testing. Work with agile/scrum development methodology.* Design and implement web-based workforce management tool. Develop Java Servlets using WSAD, JavaScript, and C++/Delphi/COM for computation-intensive system components. Develop database access components using ADO with Oracle and SQL-Server databases. Investigate and develop web services API using Smart Sockets messaging middle-ware. Design and develop client interface using XML, XSLT, DHTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
