• DynaSoft LLC Contract - TravelPort (The data engine behind Orbitz/Travelocity/Priceline, and many airlines’ pricing solutions). In a software performance environment where milliseconds account for millions of revenue.
• Implementing sophisticated, multi-threaded design that reduced CPU idle time with results promising to shave 5-15 percent off of ticket pricing solution calculations (each 1% is equivalent to ~$100K savings).
• Removed expensive, time-costly thread locking dependencies (posix thread mutex lock design) by implementing fast, atomic concurrency solutions which prove to be up to 30 times faster.
• Implemented various efficient algorithms and techniques such as Adelson-Velskii & Landis (AVL) self-balancing trees, skip lists, hash tables, etc.
• Implemented techniques that reduce tall-poles in dwell time such as NFS file caching
• Increased data manipulation performance by utilizing memory mapping techniques, L2 cache techniques, data pattern layout/access schemes, etc.

• This role required a high degree of time-constrained learning curve initiative for which I was routinely commended. I was “thrown into the deep end and was able to swim” for as many as three demanding programs during.
• Designed and developed “Collaboration Control” algorithms for PnP spacecraft on-board flight software components used for AFRL Defensive Counterspace initiative which allowed spacecraft to collaborate amongst.
• Designed and developed a robust fault-tolerant recovery system that optimally redistributes and rebalances processor critical applications when a failed processor is recognized.
• Designed and implemented a user-friendly GUI interface to Design_Net Engineering’s Mission & Spacecraft Design ToolTM in JavaScript (Google toolbox) to web-enable the tool for end-users to reconfigure existing space.

• Led a team of 5 individuals on a SBIR development to integrate hardware and software components into a real-time hardware-in-the-loop plug-and-play satellite research test bed. o This research program is intended to.

• Small business co-founder and 1/3 owner. IEC was dedicated to forwarding the distributed control system technology market amongst several disciplines.
• Co-developed requirements for LONWORKS® technology Network Management Software Tools (Peak Components)
• Developed and implemented Peak Components network Management algorithms that performed: o Node/router commissioning o Data binding o Diagnostics and maintenance

• Flight Telerobotic Servicer (FTS) program o Developed and implemented forward and reverse, real-time kinematic/dynamic articulation simulation (graphics FTS)/emulation (hardware FTS) of 7-DOF robotic arm including.
• Magellan Venus Orbiter o Implemented 3-DOF (rotational) dynamic equations of motion incorporating flexible body modes of solar array dynamics which uncovered a catastrophic failure. This discovery led to a redesign of.
• Manned Maneuvering Unit o Responsible for all dynamic analysis and implementation in the Space Operations Simulation facility that led to three successful on-orbit, manned flights of the Manned Maneuvering Vehicle. .
• Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle o Responsible for modeling several spacecraft control system configurations o Participated in human-in-the-loop simulation activities to ascertain:  Hand controller modes  Video processing.
