Develop and transition coursework for the Electrical Technology Program from a traditional model (face-to-face) to a hybrid model (online, plus lab experience).

Plano, Tx

• Work with clients, customers, end users to understand needs/requirements• Develop and write design documentation• Investigate problems and make database design recommendations (postgreSQL)• Implement/test automation software (Tcl/TK, Autoshell, pgtcl)

Mckinney, Tx

• Designed client application enhancements (C#, XML, json)• Implemented DB (ERP dataset), backend server applications (Python), interface (XML) for IRS (Web Service) • Designed/Implemented/Tested DB enhancements (MySQL, SQL Server)• Analyzed DB activity via SQL Server Profiler• Decompiled .NET executable to recover source lost by client• Implemented backend process to migrate and clean data• Tracked DB data changes via triggers, stored procedures, and DB functions• Tracked issues and managed third parties

Plano, Tx

• Analyzed application performance bottlenecks and implemented enhancements (Tcl/TK), reduced application time (10X), positioned software to bear significant additional workload• Conceived/implemented software/process for measuring parity across software releases, where functionality previously nonexistent, avoided complex multiple tool impact• Conceived/implemented parallel processing performance enhancements, reduced processing time (95%)• Managed distributed network monitoring (Perl / MySQL) feature set including alarm severity levels and notification via email (LISTSERV) / NetX• Shared advanced Unix commands to expand team knowledge• Supported/corrected software, eliminated intermittent errors; improved: logging, error handling, user interface• Enhanced softwate to perform application stop/starts previously neglected, eliminated: manual user restarts, process conflict cores (Solaris), write lock failures (Linux)• Conceived/implemented (bash script) tools for automation of pre/post application health checks and critical data backups, reduced health/patching conflicts, eliminated backup omissions• Conceived/implemented tool to audit patch status of network elements, produced real time error detection where none previously existed• Conceived/implemented (bash script) multiple automation tools for process simplification, data extraction, configuration, verification, reduced execution time, bolstered repeatability, reduced human error

Richardson, Tx

• Managed 30 member development team (C++, Impromptu, Impromptu Web Reports)• Mentored C++ team leads through development and personnel issues• Negotiated requirements and estimated development effort• Managed projects including resource allocation, scheduling, tracking, and reporting• Mentored Report team leads through report generation• Mentored system test• Developed system configuration automation via WinRunner scripts• Owned SCM via SourceSafe• Provided customer face (Vienna, Austria)• Developed software installation via InstallShield

Richardson, Tx / Vienna, Austria

• Evaluated performance of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning - customer provisioning) system (Siebel, Kenan, PeopleSoft, TIBCO, and custom components)• Developed stress testing scripts simulating transactions via LoadRunner/WinRunner, and developed custom DLLs for same• Investigated and performed field trials on stress testing toolsets• Performed stress tests against Oracle database and TIBCO messaging agents. Measurements and reports were used to tune database design• Performance tested hardware platform. Drove systems at expected stress rates and beyond to breakdown rate• Stress script recording/analysis revealed poor client data management, which when corrected negated HW upgrade

Plano, Tx

• Supported end customers through upgrade / installation of telecommunications system• Executed verification and field acceptance testing• Obtained customer approvals• Designed, implemented, and led team through automated GUI testing via XRunner Tool Scripting Language• Designed library architecture• Implemented / tested common software layer• Wrote documentation and provided training for handoff of GUI automation software to client personnel

Kansas City, Mo / Lenexa, Ks / Naperville, Il

• Developed implementation plan of second generation hardware / software into CDMA network• Included: capacity management, network hardware integration, field acceptance testing, disaster recovery, data migration, and training / handoff to field operations• Planned and executed implementation of Lucent’s external HLR into CDMA network• Conceived/implemented software that analyzed stress test output data and isolated a performance issue allowing the vendor time to investigate / correct before taking product to field• Verified network interfaces to external HLR (utilizing IS41C, Lucent Autoplex MSC, and Nortel MTX MSC)• Wrote / executed field acceptance test cases• Insured problem resolution through interface with vendors

Richardson, Tx

• Lead radio maintenance rewrite effort (team of six developers). This was a multi-tier, multi-node, real-time system which included manual / system events and alarm reporting to the switch (visible) level, internal system processing at a compute level, pass through communications at an intermediate level, and finally radio control at the target level; with the number of devices increasing as you step down through each level• Design / implement a messaging system for use in simulating communications from third party vendors so that internal testing could commence prior to receipt of hardware / software• Estimated design effort. Design included: primary functionality, bulk operations, staged system recovery, message throttling, audit de-bursting, etc• Developed high level design and system architecture• Designed / implemented details of maintenance engine for AMPs, TDMA, and CDPD transceivers• Designed / implemented bulk operation engine• Designed / guided redundancy engine• Planned allocation of design resources• Trained / consulted design / test / support personnel• Planned allocation of unit / integration test resources• Designed / implemented multiprocessor data transfer and various messaging state machines• Proficient with coding and debugging tools, e.g. disassemblers, listers, tracers, trackers, symbolic debuggers, libraries, compilers, loadbuilders, etc• Developed and executed test plans for testing at unit, integration, and system level• Achievement of radio maintenance rewrite; significant because this was the third rewrite attempt, with the original being problematic and the two previous attempts failing due to system interaction complexity• Assembled and instructed a course on Cellular System Component and Hardware Architecture to members of design, test, and support communities
