Led Ride Control Software Engineering efforts of innovative Disney attractions in parks around the world while also leading system design and analysis efforts. Leader/Doer personally take on challenging and innovative design portions of the efforts including overall architecture to ensure smooth integration and testability while also leading team and partnering with other disciplines on the attraction. Also, spent quite a bit of time working within the Creative and R&D groups on new concepts and ideas while trying to “bend physics” wherever possible to maximize immersive experiences for Disney guests. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with many talented Imagineers to create elegant designs that support all of the "...ilities" and rapid yet thorough field testing.Lead Software Engineer and System Designer for Disney Ride Systems including:- [ ] Star Wars - Rise of the Resistance (concept through high level design)- [ ] Star Wars - Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (concept)- [ ] Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (concept through detailed vehicle design)- [ ] Mystic Manor, Hong Kong (concept through field testing)- [ ] Toy Story Mania (concept through detailed design, multipark common platform design)- [ ] Tower of Terror, CA (high level design through field testing)- [ ] Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin (helped to evolve latest standards of ASTM as applied to Amusement Rides)- [ ] Pooh’s Hunny Hunt, Tokyo (high level design through field testing)- [ ] GM Test Track Wayside (high level design through field testing)- [ ] DINOSAUR (high level design through field testing)- [ ] Blue Sky and Concept Development Projects (embedded with Disney Creative for multiple years)Managed the 10 to 20+ Ride Software Engineers plus several Systems Engineers during portions of my career to help forward strategic direction and mentoring.Originator of several patents including US20090272289A1(Note- more experience detail can be found in the "Honors & Awards" Section)
