Career Accomplishments

Advanced Navigation and Positioning Corporation (ANPC)

June 2004 - Present

Engineering Director

January 2006 - Present

. Directed engineering operations and coordinated staffing (10-20)

and budgetary resources of engineering departments.

. As a program and project manager used Earned Value Management (EVM)

methods to report project status and efficiencies to senior

management. For 23 projects using EVM, gained 6% average positive

efficiencies over predicted.

. Initiated process (ISO 9001) and product improvement teams to

increase efficiencies of development processes, improve product

design, and to build lower cost and higher reliability systems. Cut

cost of the system by two thirds, improved integrity failure rate

one hundred times and component reliability by a factor of two.

. Proven team builder that rebuilt and reenergized the engineering

department after a company downsize into a culture of productivity

and teamwork. This increased productivity by 60% and revenue by $4

million in the first year.

. Coordinated government contracts and projects (DOD, FAA, NAVAIR and

USAF) to define requirements for the systems under development.

. Proposal developer providing technical design and planning input

during proposal development for major government RFP's (up to $40

M) to develop custom systems.

June 2004 - January 2006

. Managed staff, resources and projects for the software engineering

group (4-8) developing the transponder landing and surveillance

systems.

. Responsible for defining requirements, providing and implementing

designs, testing and deploying software.

. Adapted and integrated software development processes adhering to

government guidelines resulting in streamlined processes that

reduce Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) by 30%.

. Successful project leader that successfully coordinated project for

a system miniaturization redesign of integrated landing system to

completion within 8 months.

. Managed outsource contractors for delivery of critical RF element

of system test simulations.

tempering ovens in the window manufacturing industry.

. Participated in all phases of software development for a glass

cutting machine waste optimization and production control

application. Developed user interfaces, designed databases,

implemented optimization algorithms and device drivers. Tested and

deployed the office and warehouse software.

. Worked closely with customers to define requirements and design

products for development.

ANPC

Software Manager

February 1994 - February 1996

. Software manager, application developer and project lead during FAA

certification of system software. Responsible for coordinating with

FAA and reporting to corporate board.
