Scientific Programmer

As a member of the,

work on computing resource sharing on the grid. Collaborate with cosmologists

who run very large astrophysical simulations by developing applications to

distribute computing jobs among clusters, and to make terabytes of information

easily available. Research, document, publish and implement methods of

integrating cluster use into the grid. Writing virtual observatory compatible

database application with web front-end.

Scientific Programmer Max-Planck-Gesellschaft -

Projects with the,

including specification and purchase of clusters and programming.

Primary concern:,

for it, wrote utility modules ( thorns ), some involving Physics and MPI

parallel programming.

Pushed for multi-core processors and InfiniBand networking in group s new

cluster; Belladonna is judged the best for running group s simulations.

Team Leader/Application Designer/Programmer

asterion

Lead team of programmers through full production cycle: conception, gathering

specs, design, documentation, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

Coordinated with quality assurance to maximize client satisfaction. Performed

such managerial duties as time-lining, prioritization, reporting to upper

echelons.

Produced Java thin client interface for mainframe medical/insurance database

application suite. This tied two deals with major clients. Wrote and maintained

suite s libraries.

Computer experience

Design

Completely designed several major industrial products, as well as dozens of

smaller ones. Prefer to have fairly complete design agreed upon before coding

any project, but practice an iterative approach, involving smaller increments

that bring users real functionality, in order to draw users into the project

as partners.

Teams

Lead a team of 2 to 4 programmers for two years. Worked in teams of a range

of sizes, from a group of a dozen programmers, and often had sole

responsibility for projects.

Environment

Wrote large and small programs for Windows, Unix, and Mac OS. Develop using

modern IDEs, or with a text editor and a compiler. Hacked more spaghetti

code than you can twirl a fork at, but often design from scratch.

Work well under pressure.

Programming

Database programming, user interface (both GUI and text-only), animated

graphics, real-time, TCP/IP communications, hardware programming,

high-performance cluster programming, Web page programming, and lots of

number crunching.

Personal

International keyboard app in XML/XSLT,

E-mail conversion program in Perl and C, gravitation

simulator in Java and XML, tank game port to Java,

various web-based toys in JavaScript, some using CSS

and the DOM (calculator, animated smiley-face, paint

program, Unicode browser, etc.), small web browser in

Java, Web miner in PHP, Java, and MySQL, math program in Java to draw family

of curves, C++ template library for tensor algebra featuring template

metaprogramming, expression templates. Guitar tuner app for

mobiles/smartphones in Java.
