Position Desired

I am a recently-retired computer software engineer with ten years experience in software

testing and programming and twenty-five years experience in technical writing and

training. I am seeking employment in one of the following positions:

Programmer

Software Engineer

Software Tester

Technical Manual Writer

Technical Book Reviewer

Editor

Technical Support Representative

Technical Trainer or Instructor

Other similar positions requiring similar talents and experience.

I will accept part-time as well as full-time employment. Contract or consulting jobs in my

areas of expertise are also of interest.

I would rather not relocate, however, telecommuting positions are quite desirable.

Personal Strengths

I work well with younger personnel, am a team player, and am extremely good at

explaining complex procedures to people with a wide range of experience. I am equally at

home in a casual or dressy professional environment.

I am quite PC literate and have had a presence on the World Wide Web for

over a year and a half. (My sushi page was reviewed in the March 1995

NetGuide and the May 1996 Yahoo!, and has been

incorporated in a number of books and programs worldwide.)

The Navy activity I was with for 25 years was

much admired by the fleet as an effective

engineering support activity. We proudly

worked with great independence and a "can do"

attitude, and I still operate in that manner.

Operating Systems and Languages

During my last year with the Navy, I was the only person in our department using

Windows NT as my operating system, although I am more familiar with Windows 3.X as a

user and programmer. I am a member of the Microsoft Developers Network, however, I

have not yet taken the plunge and installed Windows 95 on my home computers. I am also

familiar with the UNIX, VAX/VMS, and MS-DOS operating systems, and can use a

Mac.

My last project with the Navy was the development of a missile launcher simulator

running under Windows 3.1. It was written in C using version 1.5 of Microsoft Visual

C/C++. Hardware controlled by the software included two 192-channel digital I/O boards,

a digital-to-synchro converter board, and a synchro-to-digital converter board. While

working on this project, I was also responsible for testing a contractor-developed training

system that was the first Navy project to use Ada.

Other programs I worked with were written in BASIC, FORTRAN, and PL/M-86.

Employment

UPDATE: I was just hired by the Computer Science Department at Cal Poly, SLO, to teach a FORTRAN class for non-majors. As a part-time lecturer, I now teach on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-6:00 PM, with an office hour before the class. This position is for the Spring 1997 quarter only, and my obligation/commitment will end in mid-June.

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division

(formerly Naval Ship Weapon Systems Engineering Station)

Computer Engineer (Software), 7/85 to 9/95. Duties included software

engineering, programming, software testing, and independent verification and validation

(IV&amp V) of Naval software for tactical and training systems. Programming included

data extraction, data reduction, test tools, and simulators in C for VAX/VMS, MS-DOS,

and MS Windows environments. Responsible for IV&amp V of contractor-developed

training system written in Ada which used a MicroVAX for the Instructor Station and

three 80x86 and 680x0 single board computers in the four Student Stations. Also

responsible for IV&amp V of contractor-developed tactical system which uses an 80x86

display processor programmed in PL/M-86 and a MIL-STD-1750A data processor

computer programmed in a proprietary FORTRAN.

Electronics Engineer, 6/84 to 7/85. Duties included development of the Canister

Missile Test Set and Digital Pressure Recorder for Naval Weapon Stations. Attended

training classes in ATLAS test equipment programming language for IEEE-488 bus.

Electronics Engineer, 6/83 to 6/84. Served as an Engineering Education

Consultant in the Career Development Division. In this position, I managed the

Electronics Engineering Conversion Program (now called the Engineering Cross Training

Program) and the Junior Technician Program. I also taught several classes for the former

program and was responsible for the operation of the new training facility. I continued to

teach a class in Electrical Machinery (Cal Poly EE325 with enhancements) on an annual

basis.

General Engineer, 8/82 to 6/83. Assigned to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, as an

Adjunct Professor of Electronic and Electrical Engineering by the NSWSES Technical

Director. I taught an average teaching load of 12 WTU. Fall quarter I taught two lectures

of EE201, a mix of EE365 and EE342 labs, and some Senior Projects. Winter quarter I

taught two lectures of EE302 and three EE342 labs, as well as Senior Projects. Spring

quarter I taught two lectures of EE325 and three labs of EE365. I was also actively

involved with the Poly Phase Club and the student chapter of the IEEE. I did receive a

Special Act Award of $1500 for my activities as an Adjunct Professor.

Electronics Engineer, 1/79 to 8/82, converted from Mechanical Engineer, 11/80.

From 4/81 to 8/82 I was in the HARPOON Missile Handling Branch. My duties included

teaching safe missile handling procedures as a part of periodic shipboard Certification

procedures.

From 1/79 to 4/81, I was in the TERRIER Missile Launching Systems Branch. My duties

were to manage the Solid State Conversion Program for the launcher, the purpose of

which was to upgrade the 20-year-old systems for a service-life extension of another 20

years. The goal was to replace relay and microswitch logic systems with TTL and Hall-

effect proximity switch logic. I also was the project engineer for the Launcher

Refurbishment Program, wherein launchers were removed from ships, overhauled and

upgraded, and reinstalled aboard ship.

Mechanical Engineer, 7/70 to 1/79. From 7/70 until 8/73, I worked in the

Underway Replenishment Department, involved with the design and testing of shipboard

ammunition and stores transfer equipment. I would design a piece of equipment, have a

machine shop build it, test it at our test site, then take it out to sea aboard ship for actual

shipboard testing.

From 8/73 to 1/79, I worked in the TARTAR Missile Launching Systems Branch. In

addition to designing and building a launcher simulator for our test site, I also did a lot of

engineering failure analysis and helped correct shipboard problems reported by the fleet. I

also served as project engineer for the newest TARTAR launchers, attending program and

design reviews at the contractor facilities and conducting many test programs. While in

this position, I was awarded a Fellowship to attend CalState Northridge to work on my

MS in EE, as a step in converting to an Electronics Engineer.
