Tidal, an aquaculture and blue economy project in Alphabet's moonshot factory, uses applied AI in the service of ocean welfare, human food stability, and blue technologies.* Sought out potential customers and collaborators, and introduced them to Tidal's stereoscopic vision systems and AI technology through field trials and information sharing* Worked with engineering groups in Alphabet and our partners to explore new business areas and vet new technologies* Developed prototype data collection systems with a truly excellent team of AI, embedded software and hardware engineers, and deployed trials worldwide* Technical liaison for collaborators in Asia, Europe, Australia and South Americahttps://blog.x.company/introducing-tidal-1914257962c3

I guided customer integrations and the technical aspects of special projects. I also conducted several classes a year for partner engineers on how to integrate novel capabilities onto the Wave Glider.* Embedded systems engineering, sensor integration and software development for the Wave Glider wave-powered autonomous surface vehicle* Work with linux on ARM7 processors, NVidia TK1 and TX1, SEA Krait acoustic arrays, Wave Relay mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET), Cellular, Wi-Fi, BGAN and Iridium satellite communications; AIS transponder data, ADS-B transponder data, ADCP ocean current measurements* Profiling and enhancement of CPU performance and power usage* Optimization of data gathering and transmission* Oceanic operations in California, Hawaii, Virginia, Korea and the Outer Hebrides

* Maintained, extended and enhanced sensor software on the Wave Glider autonomous ocean vehicle* Lead joint projects with Boeing on sonobuoys, acoustic line arrays, data exfiltration via satellite, and many other prototype capabilities * Integrated novel sensors, added unique capabilities, and integrated data with COTS and GOTS systems* Investigated and resolved signal processing throughput issues (Linux, NVidia, UDP and serial, satcom) * Technical POC for Wave Glider on site in joint exercises with U.S. and foreign entities in the U.S., U.K. and Korea"Terry is a rock star and probably had something to do with our acquisition by Boeing" - anonymous comment from a performance review after the aquisition

Senior Programmer/Analyst in the Aviation Systems Division (AF), Aerospace Operations Modeling Branch (AFM). I modeled Air Traffic Control, aircraft, weather, and terminal area traffic while researching improvements to the next generation of control systems for the U.S. airspace. The project was approved for deployment across the National Airspace System in May of 2015.http://www.aviationsystemsdivision.arc.nasa.gov/news/highlights/af_highlights_20150501.shtml

Embedded GPS software engineering, DSP and signals analysis, GPS/INS integration, algorithm development and evaluation, sensor fusion, prototyping of novel navigation systems.Company laid off all U.S. employees in March 2008

Software and firmware for a prototype data collection system. Demonstrated the system in cooperation with a prime and multiple subcontractors, resulting in the win of a hundred million dollar development contract. Troubleshooting legacy software for systems designed to collect a wide range of data, voice and networking protocols. Development of algorithms and acquisition software for new protocols under tight deadlines.

Distributed, embedded signal processing. Converting experimental algorithms described in Matlab to optimized C code on a 64 node beowulf cluster. DSP research.

Gps software development, inertial navigation systems software, Developed and co-taught 16-070 (Intro to Embedded Systems) for Aero-Astro students at MIT.

Developing devices and algorithms for signal processing. Protocol and signals analysis. Development of internal tools for data visualization. Installation of DSP systems at foreign remote field sites.

Undergraduate teaching assistant for the first 2 core courses in computer science (CMSC 201,202) taught in C. Held lab sessions twice a week, filled in for course instructor on several lectures over a couple of years, prepared and delivered original lectures in debugging and the use of strace and gdb. Received very positive reviews for teaching style and communication.
