Employment History:
1/2002
3/15/2002 -- Antek Industries, Houston, TX (contractor)
Main duty was writing embedded software C and Forth.
As Embedded Software Engineer at Antek, I developed a Touch
Screen GUI for the Mosaic Industries (www.mosaic-industries.com)
embedded processor (68HC11). Also, developed a PID (proportional
Integral Differential) algorithm for controlling the temperature of a
gas chromatograph. Among other things the Touch Screen GUI
allowed the end user the ability to input of temperature
set-points, ramp-up temperatures in degrees/second
ramp-up times in minutes. To make it possible to use a Unix like
environment for development, I installed Cygwin ( Unix clone ),
Samba, CVS, and Xfree86 on all WinXX and WinNT machines.
Special Skills: Setting up Cygwin environment on Win98. Event
and time triggered patterns, reading cold junction and thermocouple
using 12 bit and 24 bit DACs to enable conversion from millivolts
to degrees C. Also, learned how to develop and tune PID algorithms.
8/2001
- 11/16/2001 -- Lockheed Martin, Syracuse, NY (contractor)
Sun/Solaris and Intel
/Linux - C, C++, CORBA and UML
Ported C and C++ code running on the HP-UX OS to run
transparently on both the Solaris and Linux operating
systems. Develop c++ class allowing legacy code running on
a LittleEndian machine (Intel) the ability to read
BigEndian binary data from disk. Refactored application so
modem code resided on a dedicated processor (Solaris) which
communicated via CORBA with other SMP processors (Linux).
Used CORBA to enhance/developed a heterogeneous distributed system.
11/2000
- 6/2001 -- Cisco, San Jose, CA (contractor
)
Sun/Solaris
-- Tcl, Perl
Ported WinNT tcl code to run in a
Sun/Solaris environment. The tcl code empliments APIs
which automate Certification Wave (CW) testing of DOCSIS 1.0
and 1.1 Cable Modems (CM) and Cable Modem Termination
Systems (CMTS). Used Test Expert (Verecomm's product) to
regression test each new release of Tality's Automated
DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 test scripts. Tested OSS and SF test
scripts to verify they didn't have tcl scripting errors.
Special Skills: Setting up Cygwin environment on WinNT.
CVS administrator, Solaris administrator, Gygwin,
ported Windows Tcl to Unix Tcl, SNMP, network configuration for
testing of CM and CMTS. Creating and debugging of CM
configuration files for the various BPI, CMCI, MAC, OSS and SF
test required for DOCSIS1.0/1.1 qualification.
12/96

application replaced the manual (labor intensive) editing of
text files. This tool allowed the C-130 Astronautics text
displays to be created in hours as opposed to weeks.
Automated unit testing of software modules to easily
do unit tests required to validate the C-130 embedded (1750A)
software.
