Novariant, Fremont CA Dec 2007 – March 2008

Contract Software Developer

Consolidated Auto Farm Implement Diagnostics functions as 6 diagnostics wizards derived from

a base wizard class for reuse in other products.

The implement steering wizards are derived from a generic Wizard. The help screens are also

derived from the same generic Wizard class since they are considered wizards. The help screens

and diagnostics screens are each kept in their own wizard container. The central idea is that a

wizard is simply a polymorphic container of screens. The Generic Wizard is an abstract base

class and is never instantiated. The screens are defined by a Generic Screen class, it has derived

classes for listbox, numeric keypad, keyboard, radio button, and hardware status screens. The

screen base class has encapsulated information used in the Tcl/Tk interface; the derived classes

have encapsulated information unique to each screen type.

The low level design used UML class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state diagrams .

The wizards were coded in C++ for TCL/TK user interface, proprietary database interface, and

proprietary hardware interface.

Skills: C++, Linux, Tcl/Tk, Visio UML
