SUMMARY

Experienced engineer with solid achievements designing, developing, and

implementing computer technologies.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

MJR TECHNOLOGIES LLC 2004 to 2010

Lexington Kentucky

President

Completed a variety of software consulting and product development

projects. Developed systems with C#, C, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Access, and

VB6.

Customized CSI model 5100 Oil Analyzer through a licensing agreement to

create the OilView Quick-Check.

Developed a C# application for import, storage, and reporting of oil lab

data. Customer can choose Access or SQL Server database.

. Designed and implemented an asp.net application for reporting oil lab

analysis results.

Designed an SQL Server database to replace the OilView in-house

database.

Developed stand-alone capability of OilView Quick-Check by modifying 5100

MC68HC705 firmware to incorporate calibration, testing, analysis, and

display functions performed by the PC.

Created PC software for the storage, trending, and reporting of Quick-

Check results.

Consult with CSI/Emerson on various enhancements to OilView software.

Developed a product prototype using an 8051 based microprocessor, serial

memory, printer, and barcode reader.

Created C# demo of an expert system for the diagnostics of PLC controlled

equipment.

Specify and configure equipment. Develop communication protocols for OPC

Server interface to Rapid software (process data collection) for

University of Kentucky Pharmaceutical lab.

CSI/EMERSON 1992 to 2003

Knoxville Tennessee, Lexington Kentucky

Software Engineer

Responsible for design, development, and support of OilView oil analysis

software. Initially a DOS based system written in C controlled testing,

analysis and storage of model 5100 oil analyzer data. System evolved to

support other products including new generations of analyzers, digital

viscometers, particle counters, and ferrous wear monitors while maintaining

backward compatibility. System ported to Windows, then rewritten with VB

as a full feature MDI application with a tree for database navigation and

tabs for major program functions. Developed system into full featured LIMS

(Laboratory Information Management System) capable of running an oil

analysis lab.

Developed communication drivers for common lab instruments such as

spectrometers, viscometers, etc.

Implemented extensive user reports with profiles to configure report

distribution, reporting level, and distribution method.

. Developed printing of 2D bar code labels for samples and auto logging of

samples with integrated bar code reader.

. Incorporated e-mail features for importing data and distribution of lab

data and reports.

. Added data import capability for several lab formats.

. Frequent direct contact with customers to establish requirements, answer

questions, and solve problems.

. Traveled as far as England and New Guinea to install software, establish

device communications, and train customers.

. Used innovative technique to add annotation and line drawing support for

Wear Debris images.

. Three major conversions to maintain compatibility with core group

database technology.

. Successfully 'tele-commuted' for 4 years.

. Designed and implemented a system for the collection of real time oil

sensor data from diesel trucks. System was installed on 18 trucks and

data was collected for several years as sensor designs were refined.

System used palm-top computers and memory cards and was ported to

Windows/CE when DOS based systems were no longer available.

. C#.net demonstration project to show feasibility of navigating to

database points by selecting "hot spots" on image of equipment.

. Developed a pre-processor for VB projects to support foreign language

translations.

PRATT & WHITNEY, DIVISION OF UNITED TECHNOLOGIES 1982 to 1992

Columbus Georgia, East Hartford Connecticut

Supervisor of Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Columbus Georgia, 1985 to

1992

Supervised team of 12 engineers and technicians responsible for PLC, robot,

PC, VAX, DNC and CMM systems for this highly automated and computer

integrated facility. Developed a management style consistent with

organizations team philosophy. Responsible for assignments, evaluations,

and unit budget.

. Directed department in successfully improving equipment reliability and

reducing equipment cycle times.

. Improved customer satisfaction by regularly meeting with individual

managers and production team leaders to communicate project status and

establish priorities.

. Convinced financial and production management of the feasibility of

automatically collecting run/idle states from factory equipment. Reduced

production operator terminal transactions by more than 60% and

significantly improving accuracy of data.

. Successfully implemented a major conversion effort from Baseway to

BaseStar for VAX to PLC communications. PLC program

upload/download/compare, process parameter download/modify, and equipment

alarm applications were not adversely affected.

. Co-authored department procedures for compliance with company Software

Quality Assurance contractual requirements. Developed program to

automatically compare all factory PLC programs against production

library.

. Convinced management to allocate funds for a PC network that has grown to

more than 100 PCs and currently supports production applications such as

process data collection and dimensional inspection. Defined group

directories for common storage of department programs and documentation.

. Refined expertise of VAX/VMS, VAX system services, layered products,

interprocess communications, and real time system design.

. Conducted meetings as chairman of Hardware/Software Change Control

Committee for the scheduling and coordination of system changes to

minimize risk and maximize system availability for manufacturing users.

. As a Machine Tool Committee member, reviewed al plant capital

appropriations, equipment specifications, and vendor quotes for

compliance with facility standards.

Senior Systems Analyst, East Hartford Connecticut, 1982 to

1985

Worked with a team of DIGITAL vendors to define system requirements for new

facility.

. Designed and programmed aspects of the manufacturing operator's interface

to the CIM systems.

. Conceived and implemented an innovative technique to maintain "global

section" data elements. Automatically processed data structures so that

program source code did not have to change when data structure changed.

. Relocated to Georgia to support factory start-up and system

implementation and integration. Resolved problems with application

software, system specifications, and user satisfaction. Served as

liaison with Connecticut developers.

BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT COMPANY 1980

Renton Washington

Controls Engineer - 757

Designed pulley brackets with descriptive geometry techniques and

negotiated interference problems with structural engineers.

. Identified and resolved several structural interference problems before

implementation of the full-scale mock-up design.

. Used descriptive geometry techniques to generate views required for

manufacturing to implement sheet metal designs.

EDUCATION

AUBURN UNIVERSITY, Auburn Alabama 1992

Master of Computer Science and Engineering

Studies encompassed software engineering, systems software, architecture,

theory, controls, and artificial intelligence.

. Developed an innovative diagnostic tool for maintenance technicians that

automatically generates expert system "rules" from PLC ladder program and

"facts" from PLC data table. Project was titled "An Expert System for

the Diagnostics of PLC Controlled Manufacturing Equipment."

CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, Clemson South Carolina 1982

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Graduate courses in fluid mechanics, elasticity, thermodynamics, and

controls.

. Thesis titled "Optimization of Robot Kinematic Structure to Reduce

Controller Performance Requirement" required extensive computer analysis

using a multidimensional search/optimization technique.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY, Morgantown West Virginia 1979

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Traditional engineering curriculum with emphasis in machine design,

thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
