EXPERIENCE:

Firmware Developer/Debugger, Intel corporation (contractor) September 2013 – December 2014:

Primarily debugging and assistance in dev testing (separate from formal QA) of Intel's onboard, embedded Manageability Engine (ME). Assisted in development of Ipv6 stack modification to a legacy version. C/ThreadX/ARC605. Wrote numerous utilities/scripts to aid the team, modified existing ME firmware code (separate branch) with additional debug-to-flash features and threads missing in the legacy 2010-2011 version we were assigned to troubleshoot a bug which had eluded everyone, which required workarounds to call protected modules.

Cross-platform flight Simulator Developer (planning stages, 2015)

Open-source project to be developed from scratch, though will leverage components from the popular open-source simulator at FlightGear.org. Support for multiple planetary environments (Earth, Mars) for research purposes. Ability to design aircraft and basic structural analysis and weight/mass estimation at its core. Support for multiple flight models, including rudimentary computational fluid dynamics and the growing popularity of embedded PPU (Physics Processing Units). Development and testing talent pool to be sought from my numerous contacts in established aviation/aerospace/education/space exploration advocacy groups. Project in pre-launch stages, 2015

Cryptography developer – June 2012 through September 2013, and January 2015-present:

Endeavor of my own initiative in C# and C, fully-functioning tested work-in-progress. 32768-bit key symmetric cipher, with adaptation of Blum Blum Shub CSPRNG (Cryptographically secure pseudo-random-number generator). Utilizes proven cryptography principles and encryption techniques. Contains scratch-developed very large integer (BigInteger) mathematical functions and implementation of Miller-Rabin probabilistic prime determination algorithm for 256-1280bit primes used in generating working key.

Network Administrator/Social Media Editor/Web Development – April 2012 through June 2012:

Full charge network admin, social media editor, and webdev duties for ExploreMars.org – an international startup space exploration advocacy non-profit with high-level ties in NASA, ESA, and the international space/science community, including Buzz Aldrin, Miles O'Brien, Chris McKay, others.
