Present

Integral Systems, Inc. - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Promoted from Senior Software Engineer to supervise spacecraft telemetry

and commanding database development group with five direct reports. Hold

supervisory responsibilities, to include allocating resources, evaluating

staff performance, monitoring work schedules, assigning and overseeing

duties, and presenting project progress to management team. Support variety

of tasks for spacecraft and ground system resource databases.

. Successful using Perl, Oracle, and SQL in a Windows environment to

build a variety of spacecraft command and telemetry databases. Debugged

real-time embedded software running on telemetry front-end processors

consisting of single board computers (SBC's), IRIG-B time code cards,

bit synch cards, and other types of interfaces. Applied outstanding

data analysis and troubleshooting skills to solve problems with the

customer's ground system. Interfaced with the customer and management

using MS Office and oral presentations.

. Lead Engineer for the development of command and telemetry databases

using Oracle and XML for several families of GPS spacecraft, including

a GPS 3 prototype. Created derived telemetry processing software in

C/C++.

. Created database ingest/test tools in Perl, which provided new

capabilities for the ground system.

to test military aircraft and subsystems, including electrical power and

hydraulic systems. Received public recognition from F-22 Chief Test Pilot

for providing unprecedented real-time data display/analysis capabilities

for the Vehicle Subsystems Simulator (VSS).

. Received award and cash bonus from Lockheed Martin for taking over and

completing the Materials and Processes (M&P) Lab's Crack Growth fatigue

test system, a real-time embedded system that utilized VMEbus

interfaces and Motorola single board computers (SBC's) to control

hydraulic actuators and acquire strain gage data.

. Facilitated aircraft testing by developing real-time data acquisition,

display, and analysis software.
