Successfully developed embedded software in avionics products using DO-178(C). Used agile software development techniques including Scrum, continuous integration, and sprint planning/retrospectives. Developed in C, Ada and Python.Currently have role as Product Owner, responsible for release planning and coordination of feature development in a multi-team environment.

Designed, developed and led development of robust software products for the DSS-2A Voice switch. This secure voice system serves the needs of the President and military commanders worldwide. Utilized C, Java, vxWorks, in new software development, feature injection, and debugging issues in the fielded product.• Improved CPU utilization of a proprietary communications protocol by re-architecting a solution which used fewer tasks, and eliminated context switches which dramatically improved CPU utilization by 30%.• Increased security in a telecom switch, by implementing Information Assurance (IA) features such as encryption and authentication technologies in a C/vxWorks environment. Part of full software lifecycle from requirements development using DOORS though acceptance testing.• Developed the software for the next-generation telecom switch by redesigning a Java application which marshaled configuration data from the Oracle DB application to the embedded telecom switch.• Successfully added run-time provisioning features to a telecom switch, by redesigning the start-up initialization protocol in a codebase of over 100KSLOC of C to provide reconfiguration without switch downtime, a key customer need.• Led the successful development of a new embedded interface board, by providing leadership, technical direction, and schedule and cost accountability to the development team while also providing low-level embedded expertise by tailoring the vxWorks board support package (BSP) and developing device drivers.• Grew junior engineering talent for the company by providing leadership and mentoring to a small team of junior engineers.

Designed and developed embedded software infrastructure for tactical communications products used by the US military. Utilized OOP, C++, CORBA, vxWorks BSPs, and PVCS.• Successfully developed the embedded infrastructure for a tactical radio product by: Developing 5 similar PowerPC 860 vxWorks board support packages (BSPs), producing custom drivers for government embedded cryptos, and designing a proprietary message passing system as back-end for the embedded C++/CORBA environment. Involved in the full software development lifecycle.• Identified and solved a manufacturing yield problem that was costing the company a great deal of money by performing root-cause-analysis to determine it wasn’t a buggy software Built-In-Test(BIT), but rather a suppliers process problem coupled with no incoming inspection. Received six-sigma certification on this project.

Designed and developed software for data communications products used by the US military. Utilized Ada, and Assembly languages.• Delivered improved product uptime in the CEC product, by developing Built-in-test (BIT) software to fault isolate hardware to the board level, using Ada.• Solved a crypto problem for a classified customer by developing an 8051-based microcontroller solution.
