Professional Experience

Braintech Incorporated: Software / Application Engineer

Auburn Hills, Michigan (February 2009 - Present)

. Lead designer of the application programming interface between

Braintech's software and all FANUC robots. Responsible for

software maintenance, technical support, documentation, and

troubleshooting customer issues.

. Part of a development team tasked with developing a modular

communication software package, using the component object model

(COM), to support multiple device types and multiple communication

protocols.

. Developing a communication component that serves as a user

interface to utilize and manipulate XML data for configuring each

application, and serves as a development interface that allows the

user to test and validate communication to other devices.

. Currently working with C#, VB, XML, and HTML to further develop

Braintech's software packages.

FANUC Robotics America: Software / Vision Engineer

Rochester Hills, Michigan (August 2007 - December 2008)

. Responsible for leading weekly meetings over a six month time frame

with a major automaker's robotic and process engineering teams.

These meetings were focused on developing the high level design

architecture and process flow for FANUC robots and peripheral

equipment to maximize up-time, flexibility, and consistency for new

manufacturing lines in the automaker's production facilities.

. Generated a software specification and the template code to

validate the design and process flow in a robotic test cell which

simulated the outcome in a production setting.

. Responsible for developing test cases, documenting results,

reporting the outcome, and making recommendations throughout the

project to drive changes to the architecture and process flow.

. Developed application solutions for processes requiring vision

guided 2D and 3D robotics utilizing FANUC Robotics iRVision

integrated vision packages.

. Identified solutions to issues with customer vision systems during

development and integration phases.

. Worked with FANUC Product Engineers to define and create new

product features for iRVision to solve customer problems.
