✓ Web based consultant pharmacist UI is written in Java with GWT (SmartGWT, Maven) and served up by Tomcat. Retail pharmacist UI is written in React (redux, router, material-ui, and a few others), and served up by nginx with Lua/C AJAX code on the server.✓ Company startup. Designed and wrote an expert system that analyzed continuous data streams from thousands of pharmacies to assist consultant pharmacists during federally mandated nursing home reviews and retail pharmacists with Medication Therapy Management (MTM).✓ vMEDEX is a virtual company with no central office. Our team works 100% remotely with members from New York to New Zealand. Our goal was to gather the best talent, no matter where they were located. I manage (and was an active member of) a team of five developers.✓ vMEDEX was a Linux house, with a few Macs and Windows clients. Server hardware was located in New York, Albuquerque, Fremont, CA., and AWS. Domains, DNS, VPNs, email, and all other server systems are managed in-house by our team. ✓ Text book development process featuring Git SCM. Changes required peer code review. “Release mail” is triggered whenever any feature branch is merged up so everyone was notified of all changes. Jira (with Agile) and Confluence is used to manage projects and track support issues.✓ Server systems for streaming and integrating with pharmacy management systems are a combination of Java (Groovy, ActiveMQ, Maven) and Lua/C. This included the expert system and infrastructure. ✓ vMEDEX was purchased in 2016 by TDS/Rx30, a pharmacy management system software company. Our employees were hired to create a new “Clinical Services Division” within that organization.

Fanuc Division, Albany, Ny

✓ CIMPLICITY HMI development team. Contractor for first three of the eleven years.✓ Maintained Windows device drivers and resident processes for dozens of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) manufacturers and various other manufacturing hardware, including, of course, Fanuc robots. These drivers were rigorously maintained to A) not grow in memory in years of continuous up time. B) not allowed to crash in an unhandled way, ever, period. These were all written entirely in C.✓ Took over and rewrote the OPC client driver. OLE for Process Control (OPC) was a fast growing trend at the time. Instead of requiring dedicated PC hardware and/or dedicated serial or TCPIP protocols, hardware makers would simply provide an OPC server. Any networked Windows PC with an OPC client could read and write data to/from that hardware. Communication was entirely DCOM. This work was all C++ with Microsoft’s Active Template Library.✓ CIMPLICITY also had an OPC server so it could serve up point values to other OPC clients (historians, monitor and alarm systems, and other HMIs). Took over this subsystem and enhanced it to provide improved diagnostics and troubleshooting to reduce support overhead. This work was C++ with MFC.✓ Wrote a dedicated DCOM interface specifically for Fanuc Robotics in Detroit for a new robot. This was in C++ with ATL.✓ Designed and lead a team to implement a SCADA server for GE Energy. This 1.5 year software development effort involved cooperation between my team and GE Energy developers from Calgary, Alberta. The final product was a turn-key application for the power industry called PowerLink 2000. The success of this effort led to millions of dollars in sales of PowerLink worldwide, and accounted for 20% of all license sales of CIMPLICITY for several years. This was another DCOM server in C++ with ATL.✓ Wrote various processes and servers for a large Land Rover initiative and provided on-site engineering support to Land Rover in Birmingham, England.

Glens Falls, New York

✓ CAE Screenplates Division provided precision stainless steel slurry filters to the paper industry. These were large (4 x 8 ft) sheets of very thick high quality stainless steel meticulously milled and drilled, then rolled into a cylinder and welded. I did motion control programming and sensor and vision system maintenance.✓ Maintained and programmed a number of 3-axis milling and drilling machines. These were programmable logic controllers (PLCs) controlling either stepping motors or servo axis drive units. The older units were were programmed via firmware in assembly language. The newer units had proprietary programming languages including Motion BASIC.✓ Designed and implemented a new control system for a servo driven milling machine. This one featured “function block logic” programming, touch screen, and interfaced with the office Windows network with the goal of writing an OLE program that would extract the specifications directly from AutoCAD and write the required motion coordinates directly to the milling machine. This eliminated hours of (high risk) manual programming by a machine operator.

Corpus Christi, Texas

✓ Designed and wrote Mountain Menus, a drop-in replacement menu for Novell networks that didn’t consume any memory when an app was launched from it. It was written in C (Borland) for DOS, and later rewritten in C++. Created a successful shareware business model around it. Performed all programming, support, marketing, and sales.✓ The program was extremely popular among Novell network admins (right up until Windows 95 came out). My customer list read like a who’s who of hundreds of large multi-national companies, educational institutions, and dozens of government agencies on five continents.

Corpus Christi, Texas

✓ Advanced Distributed Control System (DCS) programming under contract to Exxon to perform high speed surge control, auto-start/stop, and load balancing on centrifugal compressors using a Bailey Net-90 Distributed Control System.✓ Using an adaptive gain technique I developed, we outperformed the current “state of the art” single loop controllers by a wide margin. Saved Exxon millions of dollars in operating and maintenance expense by implementing this program on four 10,000 HP electric CO2 compressors, three more 4500 HP electric propane compressors, and a number of smaller centrifugal compressors throughout a facility in southwest Wyoming.✓ In-house network administrator. Turned an office full of PCs into the largest Novell network in Corpus Christi. Wrote several utilities in C for time and expense management and network administrationand several FoxPro database applications for engineering project tracking.

Frontier, Wyoming

✓ Engineering Technician, Senior Instrumentation Technician, Senior Plant Operator at the Shute Creek refinery in southwest Wyoming. This was a large, brand new, all electric facility controlled by a Bailey Net-90 DCS. The Bailey had 138 hot swappable Motorola 68000 processors on a redundant fiber optic loop with over four thousand PID control loops, and tens of thousands of analog and digital sensors.✓ As an engineering technician, my job was programming the Bailey DCS, tuning Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) control loops, and aiding the instrumentation techs in interfacing sensors to the DCS.✓ As a senior operator, I was able to run any area of the refinery from the user displays in the control room, and as needed on the refinery floor.✓ As a senior instrumentation technician, my job was to maintain the electrical side of the Bailey sensors, fire and gas sensors, SCBA equipment, and multitude of pneumatic controllers, boilers, compressors and pumps.
