Log DB

Web Interface for field service to view log files from control systems.

Replaced manual process of hunting down log files.Implemented using Python, web.py, sqlite, and lighttpd.Collects, parses, and indexes tens of thousands of logs a day.MiscellaneousWrote Python scripts to migrate 5 years of source control data from legacy source control to SVN. Scripts maintanced all history, comments, and branches.Devloped a simulation framework and libraries for communicating with control systems in Python. Control done via OPC (OpenOPC w/ National Instruments PLC) and Modbus over Serial.

Code Generator

In house tool used to specify software interfaces in XML for rapid generation of bug free, well commented, C++ classes.

Designed and implemented Generator using Python and wxWindows.Created code templates for an inter-process

communication layer that automates nested

C++ object serialization, endinaness swapping, and pretty printing of structures.Created component that generates device drivers and

stubbed IOCTL handlers.Code generator has been used in production of two device drivers and ten

server/client applications, saving developers from writing and debugging thousands of lines of code.R5000, T7000 Projects

In-dash computers for heavy truck and recreational vehicles. Systems feature CD and USB playback, an iPod interface, satellite radio, external camera display, GPS navigation, vehicle systems monitor, trip computer, and tire pressure monitors.

Wrote a VNC client using C++ and the QNX Photon mircoGUI.Developed a device driver for a serial based

touch screen device.Created an intelligent high speed serial to TCP/IP bridge that

allowed us to interface our VNC client to a

3rd party system.Wrote utility to monitor memory usage and report low memory conditions.P7000 Project

In-dash computers for public safety vehicles. Systems feature speech recognition, radio communications management, and police vehicle equipment control.

Modifed QNX based firmware updater to work with Linux MTD flash interface.Ported existing sound framework to work with Linux sound architecture, ALSA.Wrote Linux ALSA SoC driver for custom i2s device.Created userspace/kernel interrupt bridge so Legacy userspace drivers work with Linux kernel.Ported existing I2C driver to work on Linux.Mobile Media Dock Project

Portable music device docking station for vehicles, supporting iPod and flash media.

Modified Greenhills Board Support Package for the Analog

Devices BlackFin 539 processor to run on Lectronix custom

hardware.Added USB Stack and USB media detection code.Developed a shared memory version of Lectronix's

abstract inter-process communication layer.Navigation Server

Largest module for the 7000 Project. Application displays maps, calculates routes, provides audible directions, and allows searching of map data.

Created proximity search component that used 3rd party geographic

data engine to find map features and points of interest

around a given location.Modified 3rd party Python map scripts to categorize

points of interest data.Implemented map marker component which allows arbitrary

icons to be shown and updated in map coordinates.Implemented Module for installing and managing user defined POI databases.Maintained proximity search and POI components.MiscellaneousWrote wxPython based log viewer for intelligent capture and filtering of serial and syslog data.Created wxPython based regular expression search for searching source trees.Implemented posix glob for Win32.Modified U-Boot universal boot loader

to initialize Coral-P video device and display splash screen.Updated Integrity IDE Driver to support

BlackFin I/O pipelining.Wrote a tool called Generic Tester that parsed Doxygen XML

output and created C++ unit tests based on developer's

Doxygen comments.Created generic server, client, driver, and application classes

to replace standard entry points which enabled components to share

common code and be controlled from a single point. Wrote python

scripts to migrate code base to new classes.Developed Python scripts to interact with SourceOffSite source

control server and automate code sharing and moving.

3.03-6.05

Software Developer

Ann Arbor, MI

Maintained and expanded Cybernet's

massively multi-player simulation system.Added functionality to achieve

High Level Architecture (HLA IEEE standard 1516) compliance.Worked extensively with GNU/Linux, G++, Gdb, C++ STL, TCP/IP sockets, and the pthread library.

Web Programmer

Bencomp Inc.

Alpena, MI

Developed an online real estate database using the

Apache web server and Perl/CGI.Personal Projects

Created seq24, a real-time MIDI music sequencing

system for GNU/Linux using GTK-- GUI library and

the ALSA midi API.Ported Seq24 to win32 using MinGW LibraryReleased under the GPL, Seq24 is currently available

with most major linux distributions.A typical new release will receive several hundred

downloads within the first week.

Flash game project's using Adobe's

Flex 3 SDK and written in Actionscript 3.0Technical features include: A* path finding, hierarchical state machines, JSON based level loading, various game AI techniques.

PIC Microcontroller

Developed a small circuit which allowed old game

system controllers to be used as a USB HID joystick on

a modern Operating System.Modified USB stack for devices hardware.

Digital Signal Processing

Developed an object oriented DSP system for

creating music synthesizers.System included band-limited oscillators,

multi-mode resonant filters, envelope generators,

and a note sequencer.Software coded in C++ using MFC and the Microsoft

DirectSound API.Education

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

Houghton, MI, 2002

Compiler Construction

Developed a compiler that translated a Pascal like language into Sparc assembly language using flex, bison, and C++.

Operating Systems I, II

Extended NACHOS (a minimal operating system a with MIPS simulator) to

include multi threading, system calls, virtual memory,

multi-programming, and a user shell. Computer Networks
