President and owner of my own software consulting company.

Plano, Texas, Us

• Member of eight person development team, several working remotely.• C#, SQL Server, IMS database development.• Bug fixes and new features for Incode10 municipal government product.

Mountain View, Ca, Us

• Adjunct/contract position, working remotely.• Write 500-1000 word lessons on topics as assigned.• Interact with lesson reviewers to refine lessons.

Overland Park, Kansas, Us

• Perform all online instructor/mentor duties using Canvas and WebAssign courseware.• Provide special guidance to at risk students.• Interact with administrators concerning improvement of teaching methodologies.

Golden, Co, Us

• Designed and implemented complex graphical software products from inception to market.• Worked both independently and in collaboration to produce high quality real world applications.• Responsible for developing and maintaining core components of scientific graphics software.• Configured and maintained a distributed development environment used by remote programmers.• Responsible for all aspects of application installation/removal and the creation of critical productreleases.• Helped establish the company’s methods for telecommuting and distributed software developmentprior to public access to the Internet.• [Note: Golden Software makes its money by developing software that contains 85+% of thefunctionality of other products that cost 5 to 10 times as much. Therefore, one has to be verygood at producing more with less.]

• Scalable typography expert on the SuperPrint development team.• Designed and implemented graphical import/export subsystem for major products.• Manager and technical lead of satellite development and tech support office in Seattle. Interfacedwith customers to solve their special needs. Liaison with Microsoft concerning Windows printerdriver development.

Reston, Virginia, Us

• Solved unique software/hardware problems for specialized government agencies.• Implemented specialized UNIX-based communication with office in Washington, DC.

Golden, Co, Us

• Maintained systems software on large DECsystem-10 timesharing system. Built hardware andwrote software to interface plotters not normally designed to work with this system. Made manycustom operating system modifications to improve performance without having to upgradehardware. Attended conferences as representative of CSM.• Implemented custom laboratory software/hardware as needed by educators and researchers:1) Apple-II reprogrammable multi-typeface video card for editing scientific documents.2) Recognizable speech reproduction using a single-bit output port.3) Developed an anemometer with no moving parts.4) Developed low cost light pen interface for interactive control of lab equipment.5) Without any technical information whatsoever from the producer, developed hardware andsoftware to decode and display real time stock market quotations transmitted in a “hidden” portionof the FM radio band.6) Developed microcomputer software to receive Morse code transmitted by a human sender, withautomatic compensation for timing and signal strength variations.• Pioneered the adoption of microprocessor technology on the CSM campus. Establishedlaboratories where students could gain “hands-on” experience. Created the following softwaredevelopment tools for microcomputers when none existed elsewhere:1) Editors, assemblers, linkers.2) Floating point math libraries (before floating point processor chips existed).3) High level language interpreters: FOCAL & BASIC.4) High level compiled languages: XPL05) Operating systems for real-time instrument control.[See www.6502group.org/hist6502.html for further details.]• Taught undergraduate courses in software architecture and design as an adjunct instructor. Wasinstrumental in getting these courses added to the curriculum.• Key player in establishing a Computer Science degree program at CSM. Contributed to curriculum design, course content and prerequisite requirements.

• Developed innovative ways to use PDP-11 minicomputers for high resolution cartography.• Provided custom operating system modifications to support application development.• My contributions helped CRC provide dynamically adaptable computer-based maps to the Colorado Department of Wildlife for a fraction of the cost of hand produced maps.

• Adapted hardware and created custom software so cash register transactions in the County Clerk’s office could be transferred in real-time into large Decsystem-10 timesharing system. Eliminated use of bulky paper tape system and gave finance officer immediate access to information.• Improved printing of water and electric bills so only one mailing (instead of three) was necessary,thereby returning revenues to the county faster.

• Implemented special real-time code on a PDP-8 minicomputer so it functioned as a satellite graphics output controller for a Burroughs B6700 mainframe. This allowed less expensive graphics output devices to be used by researchers, providing them with capabilities not possible with the B6700 mainframe alone.
