Palm Beach, FL
Participated in a team
effort to develop a "Virtual Jet Engine" prototype utilizing
distributed objects. The jet engine is an aggregation of a compressor,
combustor, turbine and secondary flow network. In general, the project dealt
with CORBA'tizing existing legacy codes by using C++ to place CORBA wrappers
around the legacy objects. My role laid in CORBA'tizing the secondary flow
network while automating the previously manual communications process with the
turbine.
Created engineering
documentation for fluid flow network program. This was done by reverse
engineering the software, researching available engineering explanations and
interviewing domain experts. Areas of documentation included assumptions made
and their consequences, necessary technical derivations, engineering design
warnings, code usage and code warnings. A memo was issued that documented
recommended design and code changes.Sensormatic, Deerfield

Performed OOA/D/P in
creating a Mathematical Function C++ Class Library. This library allows the
user to instance a wide range of mathematical functions and perform appropriate
actions upon them such as yValue, integrate, differentiate curvature, arc
length, etc. All methods that were capable of returning different amounts of
precision guaranteed a user-specified level of precision. Received a Pratt
& Whitney Eagle Award for this work praising the robustness and quality
built into the library.
Created dynamic C++
class documentation program, ReuseMan. A documentation format was established
and incorporated into header files. When class documentation is requested,
ReuseMan dynamically creates the documentation by moving up the inheritance
hierarchy and constructing appropriate documentation. The user can retrieve
