▪ Leading a three man team developing a proprietary mobile app (Android/IOS) that communicates with custom hardware via Wi-Fi or remotely through the Internet.▪ Won company contest to produce best mobile application with an OpenCV app that converts camera images into cartoons.▪ Contributed a real time display of Blacksburg Transit (BT) buses for an Android mobile app, ingesting sporadic, noisy GPS reports and producing smooth animations of moving buses.▪ Saved BT $10,000 by creating a Trip Planner, providing users with solutions tuned to reduce ride, walk, or wait time. The Planner uses Open Street Maps and has performance comparable to Google’s Directions without any usage limitations or licensing fees.▪ Produced an expert system for analyzing commodity data and predicting the best time to trade based on customer’s proprietary methodology.▪ Delivered a web application to control an embedded parking solution for three parking garages. The app provides real-time monitoring and control of member and guest access, plus billing. It handles 4,000 cars a day and up to 2,500 events every minute.▪ Saved customer $12,000 by creating a web application that allows clients to find rental properties and schedule appointments on-line without human interaction. App enables property managers to allocate staff and view appointments using Google Calendars.▪ Improved PC Drafter, a tool for optimizing clients’ fantasy football drafts, by enabling users to import their Yahoo and ESPN leagues and analyze performance.▪ Contractor developing patented embedded processor communicating with all major refrigeration and HVAC controllers, allowing clients to manage and monitor units via an API. Lead effort to port product to the Niagara Industrial Automation Framework.

Senior Software Engineer developing Load Manager, Librato’s flagship product, a workload management solution providing large data centers fine-grained monitoring and re-balancing of system resources (CPU, memory, network and file I/O).• Created network daemon to route messages between Load Manager, managed processes, and third party applications.• Developed library to analyze resource usage and trigger user-specified scripts when thresholds are crossed.

Task Lead for TOW Missile Simulation Lab. Lead five man team supporting flight tests with digital and hardware-in-the-loop TOW simulations.• Added capability to inject actual flight video and generated scenes with jammers, mirages, flares, gunner motion, and target motion into simulation.• Improved lab’s analysis ability by creating a tool to overlay instrumentation data onto actual and simulated flight imagery.• Reduced time to produce post-flight package from 4 hours to 10 minutes by automating.• Introduced genetic algorithms to optimize post-flight reconstructions. Wrote and presented “Harnessing a Missile Simulation to Perform Trade Studies Using Genetic Algorithms” for the 2004 Huntsville Simulation Conference.• Discovered flaw in IBAS tactical software that had caused a flight test failure and provided the correction.Analyst for the Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Missile Program, developing scene generator, camera model, and seeker signal processor for ASAT Digital Testbed (ADT).• Awarded the 1998 Davis Award for Technical Excellence, a cash award presented annually to a single employee for technical contributions for work on the ADT.• Improved understanding of ADT output by developing tool overlaying a heads-up display of seeker and guidance data onto camera images. Used tool to evaluate prime contractor's algorithms, detecting and correcting 8 algorithm flaws. Co-authored “Digital Testbed – An Overview,” presented at TABES 1998.• Migrated ADT to VxWorks to run real-time on two Motorola PowerPC 740 processors to determine throughput. Presented “Evolving Simulation Code into Embedded Flight Software” at the 2000 Conference of Life Cycle Software Engineering.
