Development and ongoing support of the Ranger / XL Designer series of printed circuit board CAD products.

I was responsible for the main computing hardware and software technical innovation within my department. This also involved the installation, testing, configuration and maintenance of computer hardware and software in teaching and research laboratories.I also provided support in the areas of network services, network security, user account management and documentation.I worked on projects to achieve cross-platform and cross-campus integration of computing resources,and I was the primary developer of Web based solutions to various departmental management needs.

At the beginning of my technician role, I was responsible for the day to day running of an electronic measurements laboratory. This involved the preparation of test benches and verification of equipment operation and accuracy for student experiments.When computers began to play an increasing role in student teaching, I acquired skills in digital electronics design and Algol, Fortran and machine code programming. I used these skills to design various interface hardware to permit my department's digital computers to interact with various experiments.When the first microprocessor devices became available, I acquired skill in the 'C' programming language, and in conjunction with my digital electronics skill, I designed and constructed microprocessor based systems to help teach fundamental programming skills to students.In 1985, with the introduction of the first network capable computer workstations to my department, I was involved in planning the network topology of the installation, installing and configuring all necessary software, and the general day to day running of the facilities.

General preparation of equipment in a Control Systems laboratory. Construction of experimental hardware for student use.
