SUMMARY

Extensive experience with software development and analysis of architectures, design, and coding in industries with high reliability and maintainability requirements. I have most recently worked with DO-178C, IEC 61508, and other software standard safety verifications. I have also worked in the DoD software development environment for over 25 years and with several smaller companies as a computer programmer before that. My strengths include software architectures, software designing, programming, software analysis of existing systems, and leading agile software development teams.

Programming Languages: Ada, 95, Ada 83 (including Anna and TSL variants), Java, C (including yacc and lex variants), C++, BASIC,

PowerPC assembler, PDP-11 assembler, FOCAL
