Contract position at Pace Americas to build automated test system to exercise cable gateways.Will be putting Python through its paces (no pun intended ;-) ) again.What a great place to work! - great people, great environment, market leader for all types ofSTBs, Gateways, etc. You may well be using one of their products without knowing it!

Section Manager - Waveform TechnologyLeader for a team of 31 embedded engineers working Waveform development and maintenance (WNW, MUOS, IW, SRW, VULOS etc.). Led the JTRS-GMR WNW SwISS (Software In-Service Support) waveform contract which was primarily focused on eliminating potential vulnerabilities. Agile SCRUM methodology was employed by the team and I had hands-on experience for this task. Execution of the SwISS program won kudos from the DoD and the Systems Center (SSC) Atlantic (SPAWAR) in Charleston, SC for on-schedule or early delivery along with on or under-budget cost.

Led Waveform development team (MUOS) for Software Defined Radio (GD HMS). Led porting team for UHF SATCOM waveform for AMF JTR-MF (Joint Tactical Radio Maritime/Fixed Base Station form-factor) staffing a team of 32 engineers with GPP (General Purpose processor), DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) experience. Demonstrated on-schedule execution of our contract that resulted in appreciation from the DoD program office. Grew the team from 8 to 32 engineers and contractors all of whom demonstrated superior technical ability.

Software Architect and developer for Internal Research & Development (IR&D) to integrate WIN-T (Warfighter Information Network – Tactical) and Command Post of the Future (CPoF) to support Battle Command communications-centric information. Demonstrated successfully at AUSA in 2010.

Led Software CPT (Cross Product Team) as Prime Contractor for Key Management Infrastructure Capability Increment Two (KMI CI-2). Led and controlled overall system component design, software architecture, development methodology, integration, security architecture and support for multiple subcontractors. Also led the development of a critical Transaction Generator, to provide secure encrypted Web-services emulation for Integration and Test (all-Python solution). Coordinated software and hardware product submissions from subcontractors, including SDRL and CDRL (Subcontract/Contract Data Requirement List) submissions. EVMS CAM (Controlled Account Manager) for multiple project components. On-schedule development was achieved.

Prime Integrator Software Architect and technical author for several documents in support of KMI CI-2 proposal including: (Software Development Plan (SDP), Software Design Document (SDD), Engineering Management Plan (EMP) and Configuration Management Plan (CMP).GDC4S Software Architect for WIN-T integration with Prime contractor (Raytheon) on Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) proposal. Developed a feasible development plan to meet stringent performance requirements. This required some extensive work to determine how network protocols could be modified to support multi-path IP.Software Architect, inventor and sponsor for multiple IR&D projects. Demonstrated ability to invent radical solutions. Led development of advanced policy-based management of complex network systems using autonomous software agents based on COUGAAR (Cognitive Agent Architecture) framework (originally developed for DARPA). Developed and conducted 3-day COUGAAR training sessions that challenged the attendees to grasp unfamiliar concepts.Software Architect and innovator for netMAPS (Network Monitoring and Planning System) in NETOPS (Network Operations) IR&D. Designed a software tool to support planning, simulation and monitoring of tactical, mobile ad hoc networks. Ultimately chosen for technical insertion into WIN-T.Developed 3D Visualization options for netMAPS supporting STK, Open Inventor, native Open GL and GDC4S’ S2Focus interfaces. Developed 3D simulated fly-over used for orientation at Ft. Huachuca before critical field-test for WIN-T. Illustrated line-of-sight communications issues and opportunities.Supported teams in implementation, maintenance and review of CMMI Level 5 practices and coaching for attaining successful certifications.

Developed new Software Architecture for Future Force Warrior (FFW) in collaboration with GDC4S Battle Management Systems Division (BMSD), Scottsdale, Arizona.Software Architect for TMOS (TSAT (Transformational Satellite Communications System) Mission Operations System) proposal (Policy-based network management subcontract with GDC4S, Scottsdale, Arizona – Raytheon as Prime).Member of the Software Architecture team for WIN-T at contract award. Worked closely with the Lockheed Martin team who were subcontractors to GDC4S on WIN-T.Software Architect for Future Combat Systems (FCS) Network Management proposal.Mentor, advisor and troubleshooter for several software teams.N/A

Bielefeld, De

Contract at General Dynamics C4SystemsKey member of Software Architecture Team for Detailed Planning and Engineering Module (DPEM), Simplified Soldier Machine Interface (SSMI) and Division Slice (ACUS/ATM) Army (CECOM – Ft. Monmouth) contracts. The ease-of-use of DPEM resulted in rapid deployment to Army units to support legacy communications networks.Mentor and advisor to several newly-hired graduate software engineers and employees in general. All but one of these engineers are still in Taunton, now as Project Leads.Specialization in GUI (Graphical User Interface), operating system, performance and system/software architectures. Mentored employees to understand how to apply sound GUI principles.

Contract at GTE Government Systems then General Dynamics Communications DivisionIntroduced Python and Tkinter (Graphics Interface for Python) to GDC4S as a viable object-oriented development solution for complex, GUI-based, network-centric systems.Software Lead for the High Capacity Line of Sight (HCLOS) proposal team, developing a GRC-408A Radio/SNMP control prototype (100% Python) used for demonstration at the proposal review with the Government. The (six week) prototype was considered “fieldable” by the evaluators.Developed a code generator (Python-based) to accelerate completion of ESOP User Interface Manager (UIM) code in order to avert a severe (potentially 12 months) schedule slip.Software Architect for User-Interface design, style guide and implementation (X/Motif) for legacy ESOP.Applied strong troubleshooting skills to solve critical software integration problems in laboratory environment.
