Responsible for the development and support of industrial controllers for the petrochemical industries for the purpose of sampling, blending and metering of liquids and gas.Within one year I became the most experienced software engineer in the company and had taken primary responsibility for all company software development.The principal controller was the InSight controller which was a 680x0 VME-based touchscreen controller using the OS-9 operating system was I helped to develop into a functioning controller. The software was engineered using mainly the C language along with some 68000 assembler code for firmware drivers as well as 8051 for some embedded controllers.The prior generations of controllers were known as the JR8/4 8bit controller, the LCC 8bit controller and the MCC 16/32bit a 68070-based controller. The MCC controller used the OS-9 operating system and was the basis for the InSight controller development.Technical lead for the StarCut multiphase meter developed in conjunction with Texaco systems in Houston.
