As a lead developer of the User Interface group of the Products and Technologies department of CAE I was responsible to develop next generation software and tools to replace the legacy Unix-based instructor systems used for simulator-based training. The aims of the software framework we developed, coupled with new procedures, were to reduce development time of new graphical control and monitor applications for simulator instructors, increase user satisfaction by allowing modern UI features to be used, and to reduce the possibility of errors introduced in the process of integrating GUIs and simulation objects. Other responsibilities involved training and mentoring other developers in .Net technology and Object Oriented patterns and practices, and maintenance and problem solving for the initial role-out of the programs developed with our framework. Instructor tools built with this framework are now installed on several flight simulators around the world, and being used in the development of other “off the shelf” products. In our small team we are all involved with every phase of the lifecycle of the product – including requirements analysis, prototyping, design, development, and maintenance support. Software was developed using object oriented approach using UML and design patterns, and implemented in Microsoft .NET (C#, and CPP/CLI), while interfacing with native C++ components.

Employed as a Software Engineer in the Instructor/Operator Systems (IOS) team, my role involved working with members of other teams to complete instructor user interfaces for high quality full flight simulators. Tasks performed included requirements analysis, design and documentation, software development, installation and integration, and maintenance. Software development was performed using the C and Fortran languages in a UNIX and X-Windows environment, additionally utilising a variety of proprietary tools. In June 2000, I temporarily transferred to CAE headquarters in Montréal, Canada, for a period of 9 months. This was to perform the software installation and initial software integration for the Australian Air Force C130H project in parallel with the construction of the simulator hardware. Returning from Montréal in March 2001, I took over the leadership role of the IOS team for CAE Australia. In addition to the software engineering tasks, this encompassed the management of task assignment and workloads of team members, and guiding team members.

In this job, I worked as a full-time consultant to Schroders Australia Limited, developing and maintaining various small to medium sized database and client applications relating to the finance industry. These included treasury systems, investment management database systems, equipment and asset registry databases, and other small utilities for their IT department. Software was developed in Visual Basic (V5), SQL, C++, and MS Access. Being involved in the entire cycle of development – from requirements analysis to support of the final product – I gained experience of many aspects involved in professional software development.
