2013 – 2014 Contract Software Developer

Disys, Raleigh, NC.

• Contracted with Toshiba GCS to help with development on self-checkout lanes for Harris Teeter. Used C# and C++ to integrate coin dispensing hardware into an existing proprietary software framework. 1992 – 2013 Senior Software Engineer

SunTech Medical, Inc., Morrisville, NC.

• Designed, developed, and maintained the operator user interface for a clinical BP device sold into the stress-test market. The device, based around an Atmel processor, was programmed in C using the IAR cross-compiler. During the lifetime of the product, I have implemented many custom stress-test protocols.

• Used Visual Studio to write testing code for our 2nd generation stress BP monitor which was based around WindowsCF for .Net. Burn-in functionality was written in C#, while C++ was used to significantly expand the Microsoft RAPI API.

• Wrote firmware for a hand-held ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) device. Duties included writing C firmware for UI and safety functions. Wrote a myriad of applications for controlling and testing the ABP device.

• Used C and Borland Delphi to develop workstation applications for customers to use our ABP device within Windows. This included functions to program and query the ABP device, as well as to generate comprehensive statistical reports. I've “owned” this product my entire career at SunTech.

• Wrote Windows DLL's permitting customers to write their own interfaces to our ABP device. I also wrote user documentation for programmers, and trained customers overseas.

• Instigated development of a pressure supply-and-measurement module (CRP module) to use in manufacturing systems. Firmware was written in C and based around a 16-bit Cygnum Systems processor. I also wrote PC applications to test and control the CRP module.

• Developed and maintained life-test firmware for our OEM BP modules using C.

• Wrote virtually all manufacturing software used by SunTech using Delphi. Includes interfacing in-house custom-designed test hardware for which I developed firmware in C.

• For virtually all products, developed Windows applications enabling customers to easily evaluate our OEM BP modules. Features included full disclosure of raw commands transmitted between module and host, coupled with easy-to-understand explanations of what commands and queries are indicating.

• Wrote a variety of test utilities and controls using C# and Delphi. 1993 – 1997 Continuing Education Instructor in C Programming (part time) Wake Technical Community College, Raleigh, NC.
