EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Atlas Wireline (Baker) 1990 To 2004

Houston,Tx

Embedded Software Engineer for Real-Time Data Acquisition System

12/99 - 1/04 Responsible for the real-time telemetry system. System is

comprised of a Motorola 68040 host

running a PSOS based

real-time operating system and an Ixthos

IXZ4 board operating

five Analog Devices 21060 DSP

processors. The boards were

connected via VME bus.The telemetry

system is connected to

the HP acquisition computer via

Ethernet.

Application Software Engineer for Real-Time System

1/94 - 12/99 Real-time Nuclear Magnetic Resonance software development.

Development was done on Sun SPARC and HP Apollo

workstations using C and FORTRAN with UNIX (HP) as the

operating system. The system runs in a Motif/Oracle

environment. Responsible for requirements, designing and

coding of both the data processing and data acquisition

software. Helped develop an analytical engine capable of

rapidly implementing new uses for the NMR tool. This

engine enables a user to customize the tool programming

via a Motif GUI. It will configure and

then download the tool software while simultaneously configuring the

main real-time acquisition computer for data format and

processing method. Also participated in ISO 9000 and QES

(Quality Education System) certification.

Embedded Software Engineer for Real-Time Data Acquisition System

5/93 - 1/94 Participated in a project to connect an IBM PC with the

main acquisition computer (Interdata 8/16E) via GPIB to do

co-processing and display of data. Coding consisted of C++,

Intel 80* 86 assembly and Windows GUI development on a

Windows 3.1 platform. Worked closely with the nuclear tool

development team in integrating a new tool into this PC-

based system.

1/93 - 5/93 Embedded real-time wireline telemetry system development.

This system linked the data acquisition computer to the

geophysical tool string. Coding was done in C and Motorola

68K assembly cross-compiled on a VAX platform. Responsible

for design, coding, documentation and debugging.

6/90 - 1/93 Real-time operating system development for the main

acquisition computer (Interdata 8/16E). Coding was done in

Interdata 8/16E assembly (similar to IBM 370) and cross-

compiled on a VAX platform.

Duties Included:

* Software development of many oil well surveying tools

including nuclear density, gamma ray, induction,

caliper, neutron, acoustic, magnetic flux and nuclear

pulse decay.

* System level design.

* Debugging using such tools as an HP Logic Analyzer and a real-

time source level debugger.

* Developing IEEE format design and requirements documents.

Accomplishments included:

* Designed and coded drivers for the depth/time interrupt hardware

and several geophysical tools.

* Designed and coded a system to save/backup the system multi-

function buffer board from disk and tape.

* Redesigned the CRT and MFBB drivers.

* Redesigned the system rasterizer to be more hardware fault

tolerant.

* Redesigned the data delay and buffering algorithm in order to be

able to run more tools simultaneously.

* Helped redesign the entire acquisition system to make it faster,

smaller and more crash proof.

Atlas Wireline (Dresser) 1981 To

1986 San Angelo, Tx

Field Engineer

12/81 - 6/86 Geophysical surveys of oil wells. Responsible for revenues

of $1 million per year managing an open hole logging truck

and crew. Operated on an 80 -100 hour per week/24 hour call

basis. Managed crew of three.

2004 - present Retired

EDUCATION
