Professional Experience
Supervisor - Database Development Group / Senior Software Engineer 2007-
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.
Systems Engineer 2006-2007

Developed tools in C++, C, and Java for processing satellite telemetry,
performing data analysis, and creating real-time telemetry GUIs/displays.
Maintained and debugged satellite mission unique software (MUS) written in
C++ and Java, and assisted in design of new MUS.
. Recognized for excellence in developing spacecraft command and
telemetry databases for ground systems used in military satellite
tracking, telemetry, and commanding (TT&C). Utilized Sybase RDBMS on
Solaris (Unix) platforms.
. Enhanced Visual Basic tool to convert spacecraft telemetry databases
originating from a legacy system to a COTS system format required by
the customer. Used Windows platforms and Visual Studio .Net for
telemetry display applications and GUI's in C/C++.
. Served on project team representing Center for Research Support (CERES)
for commercial antenna evaluation project. Reported project status,
communicated change requests, and tracked tasks and schedules.

Bus and consisting of custom embedded software running on VMEbus hardware
under VxWorks and Solaris. Debugged satellite command and control software.
Integrated software used to test satellite flight subsystems. Interfaced a
variety of hardware and software products.
. Received award and cash bonus from customer for bringing a stalled
project back on schedule. Served as SME on MIL-STD-1553B Avionics Bus
and assisted with troubleshooting and resolving technical problems.
. Facilitated spacecraft testing by developing data acquisition and
control software for Electronic Aerospace Ground Equipment (EAGE), also
known as Test Sets, used for engineering development of flight systems.
Developed device drivers for A/D, D/A, DIO, and other hardware
interfaces. Used LabView to control test equipment using GPIB and VXI
hardware.
Staff Software Engineer (Lead) - Engineering Test Laboratory 1989-1996
Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems - Fort Worth, TX
Led team of six engineers in developing real-time data acquisition systems
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.
. Successfully developed the real-time test system software used for the
A-12 Electrical Power System Test Stand. Used Ada on the A-12 Program.
Used HP-VEE to solve test and measurement problems.
