Seattle, WA

Scientific Programmer, Software Development Group.

Primary responsibility for implementing algorithms (C, Ruby) to produce global irradiance map and hourly time series data

product based on images from GOES, MTSAT, GMS, and Meteosat series of geosynchronous weather satellites taken between

January 1997 and the current time. Assisted in algorithm development for irradiance map including producing timeseries

dataset of atmospheric turbidity based on inputs from MODIS instrument. Wrote application (Ruby) and library (C) for

solar forecasting based on numerical weather prediction model output. Wrote application to process numerical weather

prediction model output for subsequent data extraction.

2005-2007 University of Washington

Seattle, WA

Senior Computer Specialist, Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

Responsible for development and maintenance of software used by the Network and its researchers.

Developed application programs (C, Matlab), and high-level scripting language programs (C and bourne shell scripting)

for seismological data collection and archiving.

Maintained and supported applications (Java, Perl, Mysql) for creating web pages of seismic shaking, and equipment inventory.

Provided computer support and system administration for Solaris and Linux systems.

1993-2007 University of Washington

Seattle, WA

Research Engineer, UW Keck Remote Sensing Laboratory.

Responsible for software development of standard product algorithms for the ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) instrument aboard the Terra satellite as part of the Earth Observing System. Conducted research into remote sensing applications of the ASTER instrument, MASTER (Modis/ASTER) airborne simulator, SEBASS hyperspectral thermal imager, the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) instrument, Landsat TM and MSS, SIR-C

and AIRSAR radar. Developed MPI code for multi-processor Beowulf clusters for NASA's REE

project, and for use with Matlab Compiler application for

high-resolution LIDAR imagery. Developed application programs (C, IDL), and high-level scripting language programs (python, perl, IDL) for remote sensing research applications. Developed MS Windows, and Windows NT image processing software for remote sensing applications. Provided computer support and system administration for IBM PC's, Macintosh, and Unix systems. Provided maintenance, trouble-shooting and hardware support for various field instrumentation.
