Developed software for CAN-to-TCP (VxWorks 653) and UART-to-TCP (Yocto Linux) utilities, FPGA drivers as well as command-line utilities.Software Developed for ATCA:Created a replication application for ATCA environments to determine and propagate configuration files in addition to various high-available (five-nines) applications emphasizing redundancy and distribution of application services across clusters of hosts within an ATCA chassis using OpenHPI-B and OpenSAF. Created an HLR (Home Locator Register) demo using custom C-code, OpenLDAP and MySQL to demonstrate customer database requirements.System Integration & Test:Wrote a variety of applications, custom C-code, Perl and Bash scripts plus the integration of open source code for testing various interfaces. These applications provided background load for stress testing and gathered throughput data and other statistics. Applications included IP Telephony (VoIP, SIP, RTP), Video-on-Demand (SIP, RTSP, and RTP), and internet gaming (SIP, UDP/IP). Show less

Proposed, architected and co-developed a new scheduling algorithm to increase delivery time by a factor of 10. The new design, a multi-threaded C++ application utilizing a variety of IPC protocols, allocated satellite resources upon demand.Performed the duties of the Database Administrator (Sybase System 11). Wrote installation scripts, backup/restore utilities, and supported the development of embedded-SQL applications. This was a SEI/CMM Level 5 organization. Show less
