• Software Lead of a $1.4 million feature upgrade to an E-6B (Boeing 737) flight simulator.• Provided technical direction of the entire project; balanced task assignments among team members while maintaining budget and schedule. • Responsible for the OO analysis and design, using UML, and implementation, in C++, of a flight data recorder simulation and the integration of a debrief station to the simulator.members.• Responsible for defining, negotiating and capturing the software requirements with external military customer; as well as prensenting and demonstrating sofware features to internal and external customers.• In charge of creating, updating and reviewing formal software specifications, software development plans, software design description documentation for the project.• Utilized UML class diagrams to capture high-level design, componet and package diagrams to capture interfaces between the the flight data recorder system and existing entities, as well as the interfaces between the simulator and the debrief station; implemented in C++.• Utilized UML activity diagrams to capture control and data flow and sequence diagrams to capture low-level design at the method level; implemented in C++.• Responsible for the creation and system administration of a Linux-based laboratory used for software development, software testing and software-to-hardware integration.• Helped port aircraft embedded software to a Red Hat Linux 5 platform and integrated it into an existing C/Ada baseline.

• Member of a team responsible for the development of high-fidelity fighter jet (F16 & F35) simulators; In charge of integrating Operational Flight Program software to UNIX (Linux and IRIX) and MS Windows operating systems.• Ported avionics software from a MS Windows (Win32) environment to Linux (Suse ES10) by designing and implementing the MS Windows API using POSIX constructs; while the Win32 is in C, actual function design and implementation was created using design patterns and C++. This library allows MS Windows software to be compiled and executed successfully under Linux. • Responsible for the object-oriented design, using UML and design patterns, and development, in C++, of real-time multi-threaded software, that allows communication between simulation executive software modules and OFP software using Linux (Redhat ES5). This software utilizes shared memory to move data between the OFP and the simulation’s modules. The modules transmit asynchronous data over multiple channels each supported by its own POSIX thread. Data integrity is maintained by the use of double buffering algorithms instead of traditional kernel locks to meet strict performance requirements.• Wrote a real-time monitor, in C++ and curses, which attaches to the software’s shared memory to display and interpret the status of different modules across multiple communication channels.• Wrote a UDP monitor, in C++, responsible for observing hosts across a network and informing interested users of simulation activity. This monitor allows developers to quickly select available hosts for testing purposes.• Wrote a build versioning system, using CShell scripts and Perl, to maintain separate project builds to allow for regression testing.• Volunteered to write a Java J2EE web-based application that allows users to match anonymous quotes with names. The game allows multiple users to play the game simultaneously while maintaining score and data integrity using an Oracle database engine.

Fort Worth, Tx, Us

• Involved in the realization of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act requiring the nation’s airports to perform 100% checked baggage screening by the end of 2002.• Lead a 3 person team responsible for data collection to assess the requirements for explosive detection system and explosive trace detection equipment; traveled to 11 international airports to conduct surveys utilizing applications running on Palm handheld devices.• Supported development of data-acquisition software created with Pocket C on the Palm OS. This database allowed capturing of detailed passenger information (e.g., travel-party size, scheduled departure time, baggage size, etc) to calculate the optimal placement of explosive detection systems, as well as their staffing requirements.• Collected data was merged, filtered and formatted to produce daily XML reports.• Created daily personnel schedules to maximize coverage of airport passenger, baggage and flight traffic.

Espoo, Southern Finland, Fi

• Team member of a project responsible to design and develop a high-availability file management system, utilized in cellular communication switches, requiring the implementation and integration of applications developed in C/C++.• Designed and implemented a disk API to access and manipulate files, at the user and kernel level, in C and C++, of the UNIX-like Linx Real-Time OS.• Developed task-time tracking software database, using VBA with MS Access and Excel, to assist in re-scheduling efforts.• Contributed to the requirements and design of a RAM device driver used by embedded applications.• Provided system administration support of a network of Power PC workstations to assist in software testing activities.

Armonk, New York, Ny, Us

• Interned with a team in charge of developing a new version of the AIX UNIX operating system that ran on Intel and IBM processor architectures.• Developed an Intel 64-bit architecture object file disassembler in C++ to assist in compiler performance tuning. The disassembler parsed object files to analyze assembler commands (op-codes) patterns generated by the compiler. Used output to generate statistics (averages and standard deviations) of processor op-codes.• Performed file system (JFS, JFS2) benchmark tests; created comparative analyses, based on test results, and recommended modifications to developers and higher-level management.
