Continued duties of the Technical Lead role plus acquired additional supervisory duties for the overall responsibilities of CPI's Production Data Laboratory.

Lafayette, Colorado, United States

Charged with determining the processes by which the company's legacy numerical atmospheric radiative transfer models (e.g.,AURIC [Atmospheric Ultraviolet Radiance Integrated Code]) could be transitioned into web-available microservices without loss of security or fidelity.Pioneered the AURIC-as-a-Service microservice AURIC implementation (www.auric-as-a-service.spidatalab.com), including overall product conception, design and implementation of the web UI (PHP, HTML, Javascript, AJAX) and supervision of the development of the Python (Python).

• Research into fundamental physical processes in planetary atmospheres.• Development and adaptation of cloud microphysics models with application to Venus cloud layer.

• Architected next-generation object-oriented PC workstation hard drive imaging software using Unified Modeling Language (UML). Design incorporated CORBA-based interprocess communication, multithreaded task execution, and multiprocess execution model, and was abstracted for execution on both the Windows XP and Linux platforms• Developed prototype modular C++ components for hard-drive imaging application using Borland C++ Builder and Kylix C++, Microsoft Visual C++, and GNU GCC• Wrote project requirements, architecture, and design, and file format specification documents• Coordinated and supervised component development efforts of a team of 6 software engineers• Coached junior members of development team in UML-based component design and C++ application implementation• Administered design and code reviews for development team• Organized and facilitated weekly engineering team meetings• Principal maintainer for related legacy products

• Guided and collaborated in development efforts of a team of 2 to 4 software engineers maintaining and extending a mature C++ software application for imaging workstation hard drives. Supervised development of several major upgrade releases• Directed and implemented separation of legacy text-based user interface from application as well as integration of a user-friendly GUI (MGUI for DOS)• Revised and enhanced application architecture and functionality• Diagnosed client-server protocol and timing problems, and devised solutions• Debugged Waterloo TCP/IP protocol stack issues for client-server communications, including IGMP• Modified and upgraded 16-bit DOS-based workstation hard drive imaging software to operate as a 32-bit Extended DOS application under both the Phar Lap and CauseWay DOS Extenders• Co-implemented a new network-based client-server protocol for hard drive imaging over a LAN via UDP to a central Control Center

• Analyzed color convergence response to register value modifications on a custom CRT controller• Designed algorithm, methodology, and C++ software application for using a single-camera machine vision system and CRT controller interface on PC workstations to adjust color convergence on CRT monitors• Achieved first production line timescale automated full-screen biaxial color convergence adjustment for CRT monitors• Presented methodology and results at an industry trade show (Society for Information Display)
