Defined and wrote updated to their patient handling system. Added file based site specific recipe. Improved the error handling and reporting by expanding the error codes from 17 to 106. Improving the detection of the error.

Working on Software Defined Radios, Antenna Pointing and Tracking system.

Software Engineer on CoNNeCT project for the International Space Station. CoNNeCT is a communication and navigation test bed for the moon and mars missions.I am decomposing requirements from level 1 through level 5. Designing the tracking and pointing software for the antenna gimbal system to find and keep the antenna pointed at the communication.

The system involved a client / server architecture. The client is an embedded SBC controller running on a RTOS, VxWorks. The host ran on LINUX. The two parts of the system were connected over an Ethernet network using TCP/IP. * Developed a standard set of code to convert from little Endian to big Endian. Isolate the conversion at the Ethernet layer.*.

Design and develop the software for an Image Processor and Storage Unit (IPSU) for NASA’s experiment rack on the Space Station. The IPSU used a SBC running on a Pentium computer.* Efficiently used VxWorks to manage the tasks so that all of the jobs were performed with out undue waiting, avoided priority inversions * Implement a CRC32 algorithm to verify.

Directly interfaced with the customer, helping them find and coordinate their professional clothing needs.

Designed and produced two generations of Auto Profile Control systems that worked with our scanning and control systems. Auto Profile Control worked by using the scanned image of the product and comparing it to the desired profile. Then if needed a correction was made by using the production equipment. * Designed multiple tuning tools to assist in system.

Created an Auto Profile control system that used an Artificial Neural Network to find the patterns, Artificial Intelligence. Code was not Object Orient, resulting in little code reuse, converted code to C++, which facilitated code (object) reuse.Effectively utilized Object Oriented design processes to encapsulate data and create manageable projects.

Petty Officer in charge of health records for the battalion. Supervised four junior corpsmen.Developed a database program on a PC for the Naval hospital to replace a 1960’s mainframe computer
