PROFILE

Senior Programmer/Analyst

Broad and highly successful experience as a Lead Programmer/Analyst with

special strengths in manufacturing automation including real-time control

systems, factory host systems, material tracking, real-time operating

systems, factory block controllers, and machine control. Very strong

analytical and problem-solving skills. Recognized expert in real-time

factory automation. Proven ability to assemble and lead teams of highly

motivated and talented systems analysts.

Professional Experience

Free-lance Programmer/Analyst 2005-present

Design and develop a variety of custom software applications both as

speculative ventures and on demand.

. Designed and developed a software system to manage home libraries of

materials such as CDs, DVDs, and books using Visual Studio, .NET, C#,

and C++. The design includes using XML to format library data for ease

of saving and restoring library information.

. Created a business and wrote software in C++ and TCL/TK to manage

short-term securities options trading and family portfolios. The

system drew on training in options trading and charting using Qchart

applications.

Electronic Data Systems - Plano, Texas 1998-2005

System Programmer

Provided key analytical and programming support for contract projects with

public- and private-sector clients.

. Tennessee Medicare/Medicaid Project, 2003-2005. Developed analytical

software in UNIX and Korn shell scripts to extract claim data for

analysis from a relational database using SQL commands and to generate

validation reports.

. 7-Eleven Project, 2002-2003. Wrote software to manage a new money-

dispensing kiosk in convenience stores. Used Perl and shell scripts.

The kiosk and software were both major upgrades.

. Texas Instruments Projects, 1998-2002. Contracted to Texas Instruments

for a variety of projects that included development of a C++ program

suite to analyze semiconductor wafer test data to identify poor

yielding wafers for scrapping and TCL/TK software to gather data on

equipment utilization. Key elements include C++ object-oriented, Sun

Micro System UNIX, Pearl, TCL/TK, Korn Shell UNIX script, and SQL.

Texas Instruments - Dallas, Texas 1976-1998

Project Manager / Lead Programmer / Team Leader

Supervised teams of up to 10 programmer/analysts in developing leading edge

applications for automating manufacture of semiconductors. Teams invented

many of the techniques in use today that were previously closely held trade

secrets.

. Served as system analyst, project manager, developer and chief

architect of a manufacturing control system that utilized 4 Motorola

68020 CPU boards, each serving a key segment of the overall process.

Selected C as the programming language, the first time it was used at

TI, and designed both communications protocols and the messages

themselves to communicate between processes. The project enabled sale

of die and wire bonders to external customers and generated millions

of dollars in sales for the group.

Texas Instruments (continued)

. Designed an event-driven process control subsystem based on chained

I/O events that formed the basis for a machine control software

library accessible by machine control developers at TI worldwide.

. In addition to many innovations held as proprietary secrets,

originated two innovations in semiconducor lead frame mapping for

which the company filed patent disclosures.

. Earned industry-wide recognition for innovations in semiconductor

manufacturing innovation.

. Designed and developed the first two-position alignment technique for

large-scale semiconductor manufacture, a technique still in use by all

semiconductor wire bonders today. The design utilized statistical

regression analysis at opposite ends of a large-scale semiconductor

die to significantly improve accuracy of theta computation, saving

hundreds of millions of dollars over the years by reducing scrap and

avoiding product infant failures.

. Determined the use of high temperatures in the wire-bonder process

caused shifting and defocusing of the die-alignment image, enabling a

redesign to equip bonders with air curtains to minimize the effects of

heat on image distortion and movement.

. Served on the SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment Communication Standard)

worldwide task force that defined the wire and die bonder SEMI

commands for factory automation.
