I was the technical supervisor for a geographically distributed team. We published the Marvin Design System to make it easy for architects to specify our products in their construction documents. Making the "front door" to the company so easy to use increased revenues by an estimated 15%. My primary technical function was the data model for the system. Accurately modeling our products with the software reduced development costs by 50% and got the product data to the customers 30% faster. I also designed the source code management protocol, developed support procedures and process documentation, designed, implemented, and managed testing procedures. I occasionally fielded 'escalated' support calls.Job Functions: Administration; Analyst; Information Management/MIS; IT/Systems; Product Management; Programming/Software Development; Project Management; Quality Control/Assurance; Reporting; Technical SupportIndustries: Architecture - Commercial; Architecture - ResidentialTechnologies: Microsoft Foundation Classes, Visual Studio, AutoCAD

I customized a Visual SourceSafe application that has become Autodesk Vault. It protects an organization's investment in design data and reduces the effort needed to find, reference, and re-use design data. I supervised junior software engineers.Job Functions: Analyst; Coaching; Information Management/MIS; IT/Systems; Programming/Software Development; Project Management; Quality Control/Assurance; Research; Training; Writing Industries: Engineering - Mechanical; Technology - Information Systems; Technology - SoftwareTechnologies: Visual Source Safe, Visual Studio (C++), Microsoft Foundation Classes, PTC Pro/Engineer

I managed the direct CAD interface and designed Linux print drivers for the Prodigy rapid prototyping system. The system builds production and prototype parts from high - performance engineering thermoplastics. This allows design teams to produce models that can be assembled, tested and even used as production parts.Job Functions: Analyst; Distribution; Information Management/MIS; IT/Systems; Programming/Software Development; Project Management; Research; Technical Support; WritingIndustries: Engineering - Manufacturing; Technology - Information Systems; Technology - SoftwareTechnologies: Visual Studio (C++), Microsoft Foundation Classes, PTC Pro/Engineer, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Citrix

I supervised the integration of optimization techniques with mechanical motion analysis. This had pronounced effects on the product design process. It reduced design costs by shifting the burden from the engineer to the computer. Furthermore, the mathematical rigor of the optimization tool added confidence to the design process. In addition to delivering the project on time and within budget, I created the quality assurance plan and training materials. I taught the training classes for two years, during which time no software errors (bugs) were reported in the field.Job Functions: Analyst; Engineering; Information Management/MIS; IT/Systems; Operations; Programming/Software Development;Project Management; Research; Technical Support; Training; WritingIndustries: Engineering - Manufacturing; Engineering - Mechanical; Technology - Information Systems; Technology - Software

I supervised the day-to-day operational activities of technical support, achieving 95% customer satisfaction. I developed budget and technological direction of the group. I developed support procedures and support process documentation. I 'triaged' support requests submitted by end-user base and I fielded escalated support calls. I designed, implemented, and managed testing projects.Job Functions: Administration; Analyst; Customer Service; Investigation; Operations; Project Management; QualityControl/Assurance; Reporting; Technical Support; WritingIndustries: Engineering - Manufacturing; Engineering - Mechanical; Technology - Information Systems; Technology - Software

I designed algorithms for motion simulation solutions to analyze the complex behavior of mechanical assemblies. This allowed engineers to test virtual prototypes and optimize designs for performance, safety, and comfort, without having to build and testnumerous, costly physical prototypes. My algorithms solved simultaneous equations for kinematic, static, quasi-static, and dynamic
