Have over 30 years experience with software development and analysis over the entire spectrum from requirements to delivery, documentation and maintenance. Multi-talented in a wide variety of engineering skills, including project management and mathematical analysis.Acquired a BS in classical physics with a minor in mathematics from the University of Alabama. Worked toward a MS in computer science from Mississippi State University (3 yrs).At Singer-Link, I produced code for the Shuttle Motion-Based Simulators (SMS), including the 25,000-line New Page Compiler, the heart of the SMS controller stations. Built a relational database entirely from FORTRAN arrays, to calculate the maximum number of Shuttle flights that could be simulated and trained per year (24). Generated the winning Costing Proposal for McDonnell Douglas' competition for the Space Station Freedom (SSF) project. Developed a variety of unique and original Excel tools for analyzing costs, schedules and event trends. Earned awards and plaudits for the most creative use of spreadsheets. Designed and generated requirements for onboard SSF command and control software systems. Recognized as a leader in Total Quality Management. Published the very first SSF system users guide.Developed custom databases for medical research and data mining for the Baylor College of Medicine.Developed experimental online software for the JSC Flight Mechanics Laboratory, for enabling collaborative use of JSC analytical tools from any NASA center; at Dynacs.Developed procedures for high speed 24-hour a day code production using a team of programmers in Bangalore, India. Using this team, I developed several commercial websites and corporate portals, including one containing a fully automated time card system.Performed probabilistic risk analysis (PRA) for the Shuttle flight software (PASS) using original math model.Specialties: Visual Basic, VBA, Excel, database, mySQL, Oracle, Access, SQL, PERL, JAVA, C++, FORTRAN, math modeling, modeling, simulation, flight simulation, GUI, graphics, interface, interface analysis, requirements, requirements analysis, system analysis, risk analysis, data analysis, SAS, PRA, statistics, Word, PowerPoint, technical writing, documentation, user guide
